OVERVIEW:

Passionflower, also commonly known as maypop, is gentle yet its benefits are profound and numerous. As a tea, it is fresh tasting with a pleasant, floral note and goes well with fruit peels, berries, and flowers. Passionflower is cooling to the body, calming to the mind, and soothing to the spirit and is best known for its relaxing and calming effects. Because it is powerfully antioxidant, it is also used in alternative medicine to help treat stomach problems, bring relief to women who are experiencing menopause symptoms and help relieve insomnia and anxiety to name a few health benefits.

Tisanes (pronounced tea-zahn) are usually categorized by what part of the plant they come from. They generally fall into one of these four categories:

Plant and leaf based tisanes: lemon balm, mint, lemongrass, lemon verbena, raspberry leaf, and peppermint

Flower tisanes: rose, chamomile, hibiscus, lavender, rosehip, and jasmine

Root, bark and seed based tisanes: cinnamon, dandelion root (chicory), echinacea, ginger, cardamom, caraway, and fennel

Fruit/berry tisane: raspberry, blueberry, peach, lemon, and apple

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.
Store herbs and spices in tightly capped containers and keep away from heat, moisture and direct sunlight. Here are the suggested shelf lives of each spice category:
