Herbal Teas or Tisanes 
In 1770 there were in our Colonies, “herb tea” and “store tea”: dried leaves, hark, roots or 
flowers of at least fifty herbs and shrubs or trees made hot, aromatic drinks for the Patriots. 
Helen Noyes Webster. 
The herbs chosen in the early days for use as teas included the fresh or dried leaves of Oswego 
Tea (bee balm), sage, catnip, dandelion, costmary, lemon balm, yarrow, wintergreen, lemon thyme, 
chamomile, peppermint, etc. Weathered Oak Herb Farm, Inc. offers the following Herbal Teas as those
