    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!

      I’m surprised I had to scroll down this far for chamomile

    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.

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

    Catnip is wonderful.

    I like to mix some catnip and mint to brew my own tea.

    Yarrow, Plantain, and Solidago are all plants that help with various health issues. I’m pretty big on foraging, but these plants are amazing to keep around to either add to teas or make for teas.

    If you are looking for something a bit stronger, Mr. T. He’s less about herbal. More about kicking ass.

    Decaf green tea, steeped at room-temperature, so NO tannins get into my tea…

    possilby rooibos, but haven’t had it in awhile, so don’t know if that’s still valid…

    possibly something with cardamom seeds in it?

      Agreed, it pairs well with lots of things in addition to being pleasant by itself.

    Chrysanthemum tea is a favorite of mine.
    Excellent on its own or with rock sugar if you’re looking for a sweet treat :)
