What is cha de capim santo in the U.S.?

Cha de capim santo (literal translation: holy grass tea) was my favorite tea when I lived in Brazil. What is the equivalent of it in English speaking countries.

Not sold here in the US, unless you look for it in specialty stores that sells Brazilian food, you may be able to find in tea bags.
