Non-Camellia - Country of origin - Georgia
We often come across the term "tisane" or "herbal tea," which might sound unusual, but it's a very broad and popular category of beverages. Essentially, tisanes are drinks made by steeping various parts of plants—fruits, flowers, herbs, spices, or even bark—but they do not contain any leaves from the tea plant (Camellia sinensis), which is true tea. The most well-known tisanes include fruit and herbal teas. Their charm lies in the variety of flavors, aromas, and colors that can be achieved by combining different ingredients. For example, hibiscus blends are popular for giving a drink a deep red color and a refreshing tartness, while fruit teas with apple and cinnamon pieces create a warm and soothing beverage. Tisanes are suitable for drinking all day long because they are caffeine-free, making them an ideal choice for evening relaxation as well.

Buckwheat tea as an ancient drink in Japanese and Chinese tradition
Buckwheat tea, known as Sobacha (そば茶) in Japan and Kuqiao cha (苦荃茶) in China, is a prized beverage in both cultures, celebrated not only for its distinctive flavor but also for its impressive array of health benefits. Despite its name, buckwheat tea is not a true tea derived from the Camellia sinensis plant, but rather a caffeine-free infusion made from roasted buckwheat grains. Many people leave the steeped buckwheat grains in their cup and eat them after drinking the tea. They still taste delicious and are packed with fiber.
