Echinacea, also known as purple coneflower, is a member of the daisy family and is one of the most widely known herbs in American herbalism. Mild flavored and palatable in teas, its main use is to support healthy immune function. Echinacea Angustifolia is rarer and some feel more effective than Echinacea Purpurea.

Tisanes are also called herbal teas, botanicals, or infusions and they are a major part of the tea world but are not technically teas. It is actually an infusion or decoction made from a plant other than Camellia sinensis which is the plant from which true teas (green tea, black tea, oolong, etc.) are made. Tisanes are caffeine free.
