    Rooibos - not a tea plant so it does not fuck with your sleeping schedule, great hot or cold and with any kind of (tea/coffee) condiment.

      I love that stuff, especially with a bit of vanilla.

      Rooibos is just an inferior version of honeybush.

      Change my mind.

    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.

        I love to add ginger too, and some guarana for extra caffeine ;)

    Chamomile, catnip, pine, a powdered antacid (like calcium carbonate or baking soda), and something with turmeric.

      Im…not sure putting baking soda into a glass of water is really, in spirit, a tea. Kind of like saying Kool-Aid and Alka-Seltzer is tea?

        I meant the salt-of-carbonate might be effective at mixing with painfully sour teas to make them more palatable for people sensitive to sour food like me.

          Oh right thats actually interesting… whats an example of a tea you’d find painfully sour? I typically think of the bitter realm when it comes to tea

            usually it’s orange and lemon flavored teas, like half-and-half with lemonade. I also tried a very sour cherry-rose tea about a year ago.

    Something that can be grown somewhat locally. For me it would be hibiscus flowers.

    I have a hard time picking one, but Senna has some practical medicinal uses so it should probably be in there.

    I love tulsi / holy basil, but there seems to only be a couple of brands that do it here (UK) and they’re usually a bit pricey.

    Peppermint. Rosehip. Chamomile. All these people are talking about black tea, instead of herbal teas, very odd.
