Herbs for Tea

If you have a Camellia Sinensis tree, better known as the tea tree, you can use the tea leaves to make your own tea. However, teas can be made with herbs as well.

There are plenty of benefits to growing herbs, and herb teas are no exception. First, for those who prefer not to indulge in caffeine, herbs can create caffeine-free teas, which is a health plus for many of us. Second, you could include stevia in your tea garden and save calories if you prefer your tea sweetened. Third, the different herbs for tea have different health effects. Mint can refresh you on a hot day and, for some, it calms their stomach. Chamomile tea often is used to soothe and many like to drink a cup before going to bed.

The great part about growing herbs for tea is that you can give your creative side free rein. You’re only limited by your imagination, and you can try different combinations of herbs to make your own unique tea blend brew.
