I use Blue Spice Basil to bring pollinators into my garden. The bees love it.
what would be closest to black tea?
Every time I watch Shannie’s videos I. want to order every seed packet & esp all these teas, this is great!!!
Totally excited to try these!
Girl im gonna need a bigger garden 😆. Im on a mission to buy all your seeds
Is the echinacea is the same of zinnias flowers?
Every person I have made navajo sunset tea for said it tasted like cannabis, it smells amazing.
Pair lemon balm and rose mint, thank me later.
Growing and brewing tea and yet… no tea… 🤔
U should try roselle too. It’s from hibiscus family & has sour taste like current ❤️

Can you use any marigolds for tea. I have most of the plants you talked about. Love trying the teas.
We are going to create a tea garden for my daughter and this video helps so much! We are in zone 7a in high desert! Thank you for your videos!
Good video
4:32 thats funny 🤭🤭
Doesn’t the butterfly pea flower resemble a woman’s private parts? If I am thinking of the same flower.
Dear Shannie, I love your informative and beautiful videos. You are a wonderful presenter with such a bright, bubbly personality. I wish I could buy Baker’s Creek seeds here in Queensland, Australia as some of the varieties you show are not available here. I can watch you in awe – but I do learn so much from you. Thank you.
So many ideas!!
I do a lot of cold brewing with these. Just drop them into a glass of water, no heat. Gives a mild flavor to the water and you can keep adding water. I LOVE Blur Spice Basil tea. Glad it made the list
I hope I get a response,. I’m going to start a tea garden this coming up year and I was wondering, can all of these tea’s be dried and will they still taste the same? Thanks in Advance.
Wow Thanks informative & very educational; appreciate it thank u 🙂
This is awesome:)! I want to go make tea:)!

That w as great – what about valerian?
Thai Basil in VietNam have name is “ Húng Quế” . Sping roll from Vietnam too. I love spring roll <3
always awesome! 🙂 thankyou
I make mint tea, but I tear up the leaves in smaller pcs than she has done, and I make a big pot of it , boil for a few minutes, cool down, scoop up the leaves by hand and squeeze every drop out of them. Filter through a strainer and refrigerate in a glass jug. Good information on what each herb is good for. I’m starting new herbs this year, but I want the real hyssopus officinalis, ( Blue Hyssop) not the agastache. The hyssop is great for immune, colds, coughs.
18 people thumbs down because they work for Starbucks. 😛
Do you prefer to use the herbs fresh or dried for your teas?
Hey! What do you do with left over herbs after your tea? I feel guilty just throwing it away
Great
Are Navajo Sunset Agastache flowers OK to add to dehydrated tea mix or just leaves?
Anise Hssop, beauty of a plant
Here in Ecuador one the best tea is Guayusa!👌👌
You should list the names of these plants in the description for easy ordering.
When is a good time to start sowing these? I just got a bunch but idk of it’s the right season to start the seeds.
Ibwill be adding some of these to my tea garden. Thank you.
What type of Chamomile, german or roman?
What a cool video! I had no idea you could have a tea garden. I want one now!
Fantastic tea testing!! I am deciding what to grow in my tea garden, but I don’t have the time and resources to test everything my self, but this was amazing. So many plants here I have never heard of.
Add cold brewed purple shiso! It’s very healthy and turns your water pink.
Very useful 👍
you forgot one of MY favorites Rosemary tea ! good for what ails you
You’re beautiful and with some beautiful plants. Definite like!
Shannon, if you could help me I would appreciate it. I need to know what flowers and herbs that Baker Creek recommends for keeping the Bee population going. Also if yall have them available? Thank you.
I’m not tried fennel tea, yet! I’m glad u suggested it. Great video!
