French term

tisannerie

French to English Other Medical: Pharmaceuticals
No real context, except that it is part of the Hopitaux Universitaires de Geneve. I am happy with the meaning of "tisane" in English, but not its suitability. Could this just be a chemist/pharmacy?

French term (edited): tisanerie
Selected

Tea kitchen

Take a look at this Swiss medical site. It even has a definition of "tisanerie" in French and German. At first I also thought it might be a pharmacy or an herbal medicines pharmacy, but in Switzerland they definitely use the word "pharmacie". "Tisanerie" seems to be used a lot in other contexts for a "tea room" or "tea shop" in places where they offer thalasso therapy, etc., but I would go with what this site says.

place for making herbal tea (drinks)

tisan is herbal tea (herbal drink) and tisanière is a harbal tea pot.
Is tisnnerie a derivated term - like fro example , blanchisserie, boulangerie etc.,?
It is just a guess.
