Many people use the words "tea" and "infusion" interchangeably, but in reality, there's a big difference between the two. So, how do you navigate this and choose the drink that matches your desires? We'll explain everything!
Tea: a leaf with many faces
Tea comes exclusively from a single plant: the Camellia sinensis. It's the different processing methods that give rise to green, black, white, oolong, or pu-erh teas.
Tea naturally contains theine (the equivalent of caffeine), making it an excellent ally for staying awake and focused. Depending on its variety, it can be gentle and floral (white tea), intense and full-bodied (black tea), or fresh and vegetal (green tea).
Infusion: a theine-free drink
Unlike tea, infusions contain no tea leaves. They are made from plants, flowers, fruits, or spices, such as chamomile, rooibos, verbena, or hibiscus.
Infusion is ideal for evening consumption or for those who want to avoid theine. Some plants are known for their benefits: chamomile for relaxation, ginger for digestion, or rooibos for its antioxidant properties.
So, tea or infusion?
It all depends on what you fancy at the moment!
• Need energy? Opt for a tea.
• Want to relax? An infusion will be perfect.
• A warm drink for the whole family? Infusions are theine-free and suitable for everyone.
