gunpowder (Chinese green tea) with or without mint, Verbena (Lweesa), Fliyou (don't know in English), zaatar (thyme) and lots more "tisanes"

Yeah I always thought Lweesa was camomile also. That really helped my stomach when I was sick. Good to know now

No, Lweesa is verbena (in French VERVEINE) and most certainly no camomile. If you have ever drank it (unless you had it from a teabag hehehe), you would see that it comes from leafs, while camo are flowers. The taste is not even similar. Verbena has a lemon kind of scent.

Yasmin tea is Asian. They don't have that in Morocco, other than in specialty stores.
