Hello everyone and welcome to my first blog post, in this post I would like to introduce you to the word of Teas in which I will give you an insight to the different types of Teas present in this wonderful industry.

At first I would like to show you the differences between tea, tisanes, herbal tea and blooming tea. And then we will discuss and explore the benefits of all of them.
Blooming tea: It wasn't until only recently when a new type of tea came to take the limelight: blooming tea. As opposed to the traditional tea and tisanes, this type of tea is an interesting combination of leaves and different flower types including osmanthus, jasmine, lily, marigold/calendula, and globe amaranth. They are tea leaves and flowers skillfully bound together with cotton threads into bundles designed to gracefully unfurl into charming art shapes when brewed. This process greatly resembles the 'blooming' of a flower, explaining its name.
Tea is the result of steeping processed leaves of a particular plant scientifically known as Camellia Sintensis. For example white tea, black tea, oolong tea, asaam tea, darjeeling tea. Etc. All teas of camelia sinesis are made from this plant.
Tisanes, It is an infusion made from mixtures of dehydrated fruits, flowers, herbs and tea with a great variety of flavors. This drink is produced by boiling different combination of herbs and spices in water, indeed a unique way to capture the properties from one or more plants.
Herbal tea are the beverages of herbs like chamomille, lemongrass, peppermint leaves, tulsi tea, ginger tea, hibiscus flower. You can drink all these herbs in infusion.
So I hope now you have a better idea of the varieties in this magical world of tea.
