OVERVIEW:

The Astralagus sliced root is widely used in traditional Chinese medicine for a variety of ailments and it is adaptogenic.

Tisanes are also called herbal teas, botanicals, or infusions and they are a major part of the tea world but are not technically teas. It is actually an infusion or decoction made from a plant other than Camellia sinensis which is the plant from which true teas (green tea, black tea, oolong, etc.) are made. Tisanes are caffeine free.
