Mexican tea culture

Mexico has numerous indigenous herbs that native cultures used to make infusions for centuries before Spanish colonization.

Teas from Europe and Asia were not introduced to Mexican agriculture, however, and have yet to reach the level of popularity that they have in many other countries.

The climate of Mexico is diverse, ranging from deserts to mountain plateaus and tropical rainforests in the southeast.
