No, but I had thought about planting safflower which is supposed to be a budget alternative. Never went through with it.

Safflower is a much different flavour, is used in Georgian spice mixes and is what bulks up a lot of herbal tea mixes. The first time I bought it, I laughed and said "ha smells like tea bags".
