Chinese herb(al) tea or medicinal herbal tea is a kind of infusion made from purely Chinese medicinal herbs in Guangdong, Chian. It usually tastes bitter or lightly sweet and its colour is typically black or dark brown, depending on what kinds of herbs are used. Although it is referred to as "tea", it seldom contains any part of the tea plant and is thus herbal tea. Rose Chen is going to explain the cooling effect of herbal tea in this episode and to introduce the famous five-flower tea.
