Herbs and dried fruit pieces are excellent for adding flavor and ambiance to tea or rooibos, but you can also make a 100% pure infusion with them. Due to the absence of caffeine and tannins, herbal and fruit infusions can be steeped for a longer time to extract more flavor. They are also great for drinking in the evening for individuals who may be sensitive to caffeine and want to avoid sleep disturbances. Due to their often coarse texture, using a larger infuser is often recommended.
Tea is exclusively made from the leaves of the Camellia Sinensis plant. Extracts made from ingredients other than Camellia Sinensis leaves cannot be formally called tea. They would be referred to as herbal or fruit infusions, for example. From the Camellia Sinensis shrub, only the youngest leaves are plucked, specifically the budding leaf (resembling a needle) and the two leaves next to it. This is known as the 'two leaves and a bud' plucking style. Using these freshly plucked leaves, you can make black, oolong, green, and fermented tea.
