Around 70-80 C, you'll have to play around with it as it's a little different for each tisane.

Fun fact, tea is technically only the leaves of the camellia sinensis plant, all the permutations of black, green, white etc teas are how the leaves are processed by humans after cultivation, they're not different species of the plant.

The French are quite particular about that, referring to herbal teas strictly as 'infusions'.
