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.
Jasmine tea. English breakfast. Earl and lady grey. They're a must have.
Those are all tea, rather than herbal tea.
Honeybush and red bush (aka rooibos) are two excellent South African herbal teas that are utterly delicious. Honeybush is hard to find though.
I also keep cardamom tea on hand. It's delicious.
Welp, reading this thread caused me to make a cup of tea.
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?

I always stock Lapsang Souchong, Earl Grey, Russian, Sencha, Bois ChΓ©ri Trois Pavillons,Yerba Mate, Bissap, Verbena and Melissa from my garden.
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??
