This study utilizes bibliometric analysis to examine the comprehensive research status. CiteSpace was employed to conduct an analysis of the literature in the herbal tea field from 2000 to 2023, examining authorship, country and region distribution, institutional affiliations, and keyword relationships using data from the Web of Science database. The findings revealed a fluctuating yet overall upward trend in the volume of publications. China, the USA, Italy, Poland, and Malaysia emerged as the primary drivers of development in this domain. The collaboration network among authors and institutions is still in the developmental stage. Extensive cooperation can facilitate swift and sustained progress, which is urgently needed for the development of this field. Notably, there is substantial interest in the antioxidant properties of herbal tea and its phenolic compounds, particularly flavonoids, while fruit tea is emerging as a new research frontier. Furthermore, the safety aspects of herbal tea have garnered considerable research attention. There are numerous types and complex functions of herbal teas worldwide, and the regulations for their adaptation need to be improved. |\n| Citation: Kong W, Jiang L, Cui Q, Xu J, Yuan Q, et al. 2024.

It refers to non-Camellia tea prepared by steeping diverse plant species in hot water[1] . Following suitable preparation, it is either infused with or without tea leaves, steeped in boiling water, or lightly decocted in water, and is consumed to promote health and disease prevention[2,3] . Besides the conventional Chinese herbal teas, the world boasts a collection of distinctive treasures categorized as herbal teas, including Cyclopia spp., Aspalathus linearis and Chamomilla recutita[4,5] . According to traditional Chinese medicine, herbal tea serves 30 distinct health functions, with heat-clearing, detoxification, and cough relief being prominent among them[6] . Contemporary medical research demonstrates that herbal tea primarily exhibits pharmacological activities, including antiviral, antioxidant, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory effects, among others[7] . Herbal tea exhibits preventive and alleviating effects on a range of conditions, including cancer, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, hyperglycemia, and various chronic diseases[8,9] . Herbal tea, combining medicinal and dietary attributes, has garnered growing attention in healthcare due to its simplicity, convenience, and versatile integration into daily consumption. Analyzing the state of research in this field can elucidate its progress, pinpoint key advancements, and identify emerging research frontiers, effectively ","cbCainTRWhEucHUY","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainTRWhEucHUY","pdf",9442089,15,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n## Herbal tea background and health functions\n## Pharmacological activities and research value\n## Bibliometrics and visualization methods","[{\"question\":\"What method and time span are used to analyze herbal tea research trends?\",\"answer\":\"The study uses bibliometric analysis with CiteSpace on Web of Science data covering 2000 to 2023.\"},{\"question\":\"Which countries and regions are identified as main drivers of herbal tea research development?\",\"answer\":\"China, the USA, Italy, Poland, and Malaysia are reported as the primary drivers.\"},{\"question\":\"What research topics receive notable attention in the field?\",\"answer\":\"Interest is highlighted in the antioxidant properties of herbal tea and its phenolic compounds (especially flavonoids), and fruit tea is emerging as a new frontier.
