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.

    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!

    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 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.

    Been trying to cut back on my evening alcohol consumption. Its a simple, very flavor forward herbal tea, and its been a great drink for winding down and resetting for the night. I dont know what it is, but im a fan. Mint tea didnt do that, but a cup or two of bengal spice seems to be what i personally crave now.

    In addition to that others have recommended, Labrador tea and American Wintergreen.

    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.

    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.

    Catnip is wonderful.

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

    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.

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

    Mint and ginger are essential, I try to keep some sort of valerian around too.

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

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

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