The expression "herbal tea" or simply "tea" is frequently used for any fruit or herb infusion, even if it does not contain Camellia sinensis (such as "rosehip tea" or "chamomile tea"). The proper term for these beverages is tisane, although this is very rarely used. This article is concerned with the "true" teas; that is, those made of Camellia sinensis.
