Unlike delicate tea leaves that are simply steeped, our herbal teas benefit from a gentle simmering process called decoction. This traditional method has been used for centuries to prepare medicinal herbs and bark-based teas.
What is Decoction? Decoction is a method of extraction that involves simmering plant material in water for an extended period. This gentle heating process allows water to penetrate dense materials like bark and stems, extracting the beneficial compounds that simple steeping cannot access.
