In addition to that others have recommended, Labrador tea and American Wintergreen.
- Mint
- Ginger
- Lemon
- Chamomile
Mint is my go to herbal tea. Aside from being a great late night tea, it grows like a weed in many places and so you can make your own rather easily!
specifically peppermint
I planted two small, ugly plants in June. By the beginning of August we had so much freaking peppermint we didn’t know what to do with it. Would recommend, such an easy herb to get to grow lol
we didn’t know what to do with it
Make tea! Lol
Yeah, we did herbal tea. And we used it in desserts. And in salads. My wife was drinking like 3 virgin mojitos a day at one point lol. Yet there was pretty much just as much left as we could consume without getting tired of mint - and I’m obsessed with mint. We ended up having to give a bunch out haha.
Hang some of that to dry so you have mint all through winter
Hahaha thanks for sharing your minty escapades!
Bengal Spice!
I got into this in a biiiig way when I was recuperating from Covid and Long Covid and had to cut right back on caffeine. I’ve got quite a few of my friends addicted as well. I drink it with oat milk and it’s nearly like Indian chai.
I fucking love Bengali spice tea. Mix with honey and it’s the best.
Rooibos, mint, and chamomile for sure.
I’m surprised I had to scroll down this far for chamomile
Pine needle tea. It’s just pine needles. Maybe it’s the placebo effect, but it always seems to give me a boost when I feel a cold coming on.
High in Vitamin C. Pretty sure I’ve heard it linked to sailors using it to avoid scurvy
Catnip is wonderful.
I like to mix some catnip and mint to brew my own tea.
Found the cat.
Nice try, cat
Valerian root tea is one I’m familiar with but not sure I’ve seen in regular stores
I love valerian root with some skullcap to help me sleep! When I first opened a box with valerian root, I was put off because it smelled like feet. Now it smells like any other plant to me, but I get a kick out of sharing the smell with someone who has never experienced it before. The recoil and look of disgust is always funny.
I have a hard time picking one, but Senna has some practical medicinal uses so it should probably be in there.

Hibiscus
Top-shelf dog name as well 🐩

Agreed, it pairs well with lots of things in addition to being pleasant by itself.
Tea. Earl Grey. Hot.
Chrysanthemum tea is a favorite of mine.
Excellent on its own or with rock sugar if you’re looking for a sweet treat :)Chamomile(relaxation), lavender(relaxation), peppermint(nausea deterrent), and lemon(sore throats and the like). Catnip’s also kinda neat when tea’d; got an interesting flavor to it, but I’m not sure if there’s any therapeutic benefits to that.
‘Schietwettertee’ mit Minze, Fenchel, Anis und Kümmel!
