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!

blackbrook ,

specifically peppermint

folkrav ,

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

eating3645 ,

we didn’t know what to do with it

Make tea! Lol

folkrav ,

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.

Hahaha thanks for sharing your minty escapades!

Hang some of that to dry so you have mint all through winter

Thisfox ,

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

Vode_An OP ,

I should have specified tisanes tbh.

Ataraxia ,

Jasmine tea. English breakfast. Earl and lady grey. They’re a must have.

Thisfox ,

Those are all tea, rather than herbal tea.

Whisper06 ,

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

Welp, reading this thread caused me to make a cup of tea.

anothercatgirl ,

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

JudahBenHur ,

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?

anothercatgirl , (edited )

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.

JudahBenHur ,

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

anothercatgirl ,

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.

I’m not one for expensive and luxurious waste of money gimmicks. Still, monkey-picked oolong from Teavana, though super expensive, makes me feel fantastic for some unknown reason. A far second is Russian loose-leaf green tea, specifically a brand called Romanov II. I think the green tea is because of L-theanine in the green tea is calming while the caffeine is stimulating, but again, for some unknown reason, this particular tea is exceptional.

Does anyone else have these reactions to these teas??

Paragone ,

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?

( :

Rouxibeau ,

You called?

cordlesslamp ,

I can let the decaf tea slide, but ROOM TEMPERATURE tea? YOU DISGUST ME!

state_electrician ,

Moroccan mint

EarthShipTechIntern ,

Is that fenugreek?

state_electrician ,

No, it’s Mentha spicata var. crispa ‘Moroccan’: gardenia.net/…/mentha-spicata-var-crispa-moroccan

EarthShipTechIntern ,

Cool. Thanks!

taaz ,

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.

bitcrafter ,

Rooibos is just an inferior version of honeybush.

Change my mind.

Lando_ ,

Don’t get me wrong, I love honeybush but the honeybush that I’ve had has always been a very light flavour compared to rooibos. Like, with rooibos I feel like I’m having tea as opposed to honeybush essenced hot water

Vode_An OP ,

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

+1 on this. I have a big bag. I also have earl grey rooibos and chai rooibos which are both great.

Just don’t drink tons of this stuff. A known side effect is that it can cause chest discomfort. Ask me how I know.

Edit: Chest discomfort is only an issue if you drink a LOT of it. Normal human level consumption doesn’t cause problems.

Knuk ,

The taste reminds me of cigarettes personally

Rouxibeau ,

You rang?

TisI ,

Ginger and roasted dandelion root.

Mugicha! It’s Japanese barley tea. Very cozy and full-bodied.
