On a tangent, why are they allowed to call it "tea?"
It may smell like the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, but it invariably tastes like rusty water.
It doesn't resemble tea in any meaningful way, it tastes gross, and it doesn't actually achieve anything it claims to. It's just hot, and doesn't have caffeine. Which is perhaps useful, but isn't tea.
There's a whole industry of lies! It must be stopped.

Well, I for one love herbal teas. Caffeine gives me headaches, so I like that there is no caffeine. If you think it doesn't have much taste, maybe you need to brew it longer--probably twice as long as black tea. Unlike black tea, the longer you brew it, the better it gets. Maybe it shouldn't be called tea, but you do use the same techniques and equipment to make it as normal tea.
There's a very simple solution: drink coffee.
They're technically not teas, but tissanes.
now i know you are from the south! Earlene Fowler, a quilter/mystery writer tells about going south and asking for an herbal tea. they just looked at her funny and brought iced. she eventually incorporated it into a story.
