Aside from a few herbs like yerba mate, tisanes do not contain caffeine.

If you are making yourself a tisane just for pure enjoyment and relaxation generally you only need to use boiling water. The steeping time vary depending on the plant from 4/5 minutes to 15 minutes.

​

Loose herbs can be use as an herbal remedy. In that case instead of using a steeping technique you might use a decoction techniques. To learn more about how to prepare herbs visit our blog.
