Herbal Tea Plants to Grow Indoors: Your Cozy Brew Garden

ByMudassar

Yo, what’s good, indoor tea growers? I’m crammed in this dinky apartment, coffee mugs stacked like they’re about to topple, my kitchen craving a fresh tea stash, and Muffin the cat giving me that “your brews need homegrown vibes” side-eye while I sip my brew. Growing herbal tea plants indoors felt like a cozy dream—until that curry spill hit. Tuesday chaos (yesterday’s mess still lingers), curry splattered everywhere, Muffin darting like a wild thing, and me vowing to brew my own. I’m all about Planet-Friendly, my Pinterest spot where I yeet eco-hacks like they’re freebies at a tea swap. This “Herbal Tea Plants to Grow Indoors: Your Cozy Brew Garden” is your renter-friendly guide—10 tea-worthy plants, tips for my cramped space, and hacks to keep it simple, all under $15 each.
