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.

+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.

Rooibos is just an inferior version of honeybush.

Change my mind.

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

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

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!

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

I’m surprised I had to scroll down this far for chamomile

I fucking love Bengali spice tea. Mix with honey and it’s the best.

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.

I don’t know where you’re at, but here we have a ton of really good non alcoholic beers, it’s really helped in our household!

Options where i live for non alcoholic beer are scarce where i live, but tbh, It’s a little more of a “something that isnt beer at night” sort of thing than it is a drive for sobriety. Ive got no problem with a gin and tonic nightcap, however a glass or two of tea is cheaper and healthier. But thanks for the alternative. I appriciate it.
