The use of herbs to make teas/tisanes has been documented through the ages in virtually every country from ancient civilizations to the present day. Although these herbs do not have the same health benefits as tea (camellia sinensis) they have many of their own benefits. Chamomile is well known as a sleep aid. Valerian root and Jamaican dogwood are frequently used to treat pain as well as insomnia. Many are consumed just because they taste good! We have an ever-growing selection of herbal tisanes.
