When im teaching Wildfood and Bushcraft I often use leaves from many different trees, and sometimes the flowers too. The most common herbal tea from the flowers of a tree would be from the Small leaved Lime (Tilia cordata). We also use Beech and Hawthorn leaves among many many others. Its a wide and complex subject so I am not able to cover it all here although I am more than happy to help anyone if you have any questions. I will be running a few more courses this year too.
Best wishes
