Is there any easily grown plant that tastes like black tea?
Black Tea, as well as oolong, white, or green is from one plant, Camellia sinensis. There really isn’t another plant that works as well.
I already have most of these plants growing for use in teas for their medicinal value as well as flavor. Plus, zero caffeine. I’ll keep growing and using my plants. I love anise hyssop, lemongrass, and lavender, plus the usual chamomile. I also enjoy Holy Basil tea. I have cinnamon basil and will try it soon!
Very useful, simple and easy.
What about Monarda? It has a sort of lemony, minty flavor.
Yes, monarda does work well for tea.
