Hi Pamela. These are all herbal teas. Lots of plants are brewed and drunk. The french call this process tissanes, in english we call it herbal tea. Green and Black tea refers specifically to the one plant, Camellia sinensis, that makes what we know of as tea. If it is green it is not fermented. The common beverage, black tea, is fermented green tea. A cup of mint tea is really a cup of tissane or herbal tea : )
