Correctly called tisanes, herbal teas are made from flowering plants without woody stems. Herbal infusions can include flowers, herbs, fruit and spices. Unlike all other types of tea, these infusions are caffeine-free. Examples are fennel, chamomile, nettle, peppermint, and rooibos (tea made from the red bush tree in South Africa, see below). These teas are alkaline forming, whereas fruit teas like apple, blackberry or raspberry may be mildly acid forming. However, we always have a choice and a mildly acid-forming fruit tea will be much more beneficial than a cup of extremely acid-forming coffee.
