What is an infusion tea?

Question

Is it a mix of different leaves or is it tea made with boiling water? Or what else? thank you

Answer 1

Infusion is when you pour boiling water onto the dried herbs or tea leaves and let it steep for about 15 to 20 minutes before serving.

A decoction is prepared by adding dried leaves to cold water, then bringing the mixture to a boil, steeping for about 5 minutes.

Answer 2

"tea" by definition has to contain leaves of the tea plant

herbal teas or other drinks that do not contain tea leaves are called "infusions"

Answer 3

Infusion means herbs, leaves or flowers submerged in liquid (boiling or otherwise).
