First, what is tea and what is Kinkeliba tea. Tea, according to the Harvard Health Publishing, is the second most popular beverage in the world, next to water. Tea is produced by steeping the young leaves and leaf buds of the tea plant into boiled water. This is the same process for Kinkeliba tea.

With historical roots in East Asia, like the British people say that it is nothing like starting your morning without old Grey and people of different cultures from around the world have been drinking tea for thousands of years. Science appears to support this practice.
Kinkeliba is a herbal tea with many health benefits. Kinkiliba is used daily to brew a strong tea that is mixed with sugar and milk and is drunk with bread at sundown as a means of breaking the daily fast. Kinkiliba is used specifically for this purpose because of its sweet flavor and because it is believed to be an appetite stimulant, as those who have been fasting want to be able to enjoy as much rich food as possible in the evening after eating nothing from sunrise to sunset.

What is herbal tea?
Despite the name, herbal tea is not actually "tea" as these beverages typically do not contain the leaves or leaf buds of tea plants. Herbal teas are made from tisanes, which are blends or infusions of dried fruits, flowers, spices or herbs in water. Tisanes have been shown to offer medicinal effects. Be an informed consumer—many beverages marketed as "herbal tea" with "herbal tea benefits" are nothing more than sugary juice. Is herbal tea good for you? Some herbal teas offer health-promoting properties and have been used as natural remedies for centuries.
