Questions and rituals
We have gathered the main guidelines so you can explore the world of infusions with clarity, technique, and complete safety.
Preparation and technique
What is the difference between infusion and decoction?
Infusion is the method for delicate parts (leaves and flowers), where hot water is poured over the herb. Decoction involves boiling tough parts (roots and bark) to extract their active compounds.
Culture and botany
What defines a true tea?
Technically, only the drink made from the Camellia sinensis plant is called tea (such as Green or Black). Other plants, such as chamomile and mint, are classified as herbal infusions.
App usage
How does the Pantry Search work?

Pairing
How do you pair teas with food?
We seek balance: light teas (Green/White) pair well with fish and salads; intense or woody teas (Black/Oolong) complement spiced dishes or chocolate desserts. Read more here
Health and safety
Are there contraindications to using herbs?
Yes. Plants have powerful active compounds that can interact with medications or physiological conditions, such as pregnancy. Always consult the Responsible Use page and a healthcare professional.
