'''Tisane''', or "'''herbal tea'''", is a term for any non-[[caffeine|caffeinated]] beverage made from the infusion or decoction of herbs, spices, or other plant material. These drinks are distinguished from caffeinated beverages like coffee, maté, kuding, and the true [[tea]]s ([[black tea|black]], [[green tea|green]], [[white tea|white]], [[yellow tea|yellow]], [[oolong]], etc.), or from a caffeinated tea, in which the caffeine has been removed. In addition to serving as a beverage, many tisanes are also consumed due to a perceived medicinal benefit. | '''Tisane''', or "'''herbal tea'''", is a term for any non-[[caffeine|caffeinated]] beverage made from the infusion or decoction of herbs, spices, or other plant material.
