Description

Herbal tea bags are small perforated wrappers containing a dry mixture of natural herbs, flowers, roots, or fruits used to prepare infusions. These bags allow for a quick and practical extraction of the flavors and properties of the plants when steeped in hot water, making them ideal for those seeking a healthy, caffeine-free alternative.

The use of herbal infusions dates back to ancient traditions in various cultures around the world, including Asia, Europe, and the Americas, where medicinal plants have been valued for both their flavor and health benefits. Modern herbal tea bags update this traditional practice, offering convenience and ease of preparation.

Typical properties of these infusions include their ability to aid digestion, reduce stress, improve sleep quality, and provide natural antioxidants. Some common blends include chamomile, mint, valerian, linden, and lemon verbena, each with specific effects that can complement various recipes or times of the day.

In the culinary realm, herbal tea bags are used not only for drinking but also for infusing liquids in baking, sauces, and marinades, imparting delicate, natural aromas to dishes.

Synonyms in Spanish from Latin America: saquitos de té de hierbas, bolsitas de tisana, bolsitas de infusión, bolsas de tisana.
