Who’s the Rooibos (ROY-boss)? Herbal Tea Basics
Learn the basics of herbal teas (aka tisanes), and kick off 2015 caffeine-free!
We’ll discuss:
- What makes herbal teas herbal;
- Tisane terminology;
- The health benefits of various tisanes.
Then we’ll taste-test some common varieties, including the eponymous rooibos.
By the end of the class, you’ll be ready to navigate your local tea shop and/or grocery aisle with ease. And you’ll know how “tisane” is pronounced. (It’s not “tih-sane.”)
Please bring a mug and $5 for the tasting.
