5 Click & Grow Plants You Didn't Realise You Could Use for Tea

Herbal teas have been around for centuries. They come in a wide variety of flavours and can be enjoyed any time of year, even during the warmer months. A lot of juices and fizzy drinks tend to be consumed in summer but these can contain a lot of sugar. Herbal teas contain mostly water and phytonutrients which are good for your health. They’re also caffeine-free and a good source of antioxidants.


Check out these plants from our catalog that can be used to brew delicious cups of tea. All of these can easily be grown in your Click & Grow smart garden:


1. Thyme


In ancient times, thyme was associated with courage and bravery. It’s believed that the Greeks and Romans burned thyme to cleanse their homes. Thyme tea has a rich, earthy flavour with subtle mint undertones. It also pairs well with other herbs, such as peppermint, for customised tea blends.
