Picked up this bag from a TTB! This tastes like pickles. The only ingredient is arnica, which I’m not familiar with. Cold, it’s refreshing, but slightly more pickley than I’d prefer.

That’s really interesting about the pickle flavor! Was it more cucumber-ish or dill-like? (Just not sure what kind of pickles you eat.). The Arnica (Heterotheca inuloides) ingredient is a flowering plant native to Mexico, and reported elsewhere to relieve bruises, reduce pain, reduce inflammation, and cleanse, detox & drain the lymphatic system. Did you experience any of that?

I would say closer to dill! Interesting, nah I don’t tend to think that teas with supposed health benefits do anything, especially not a single cup of one.

I did one time, long ago, have to have my lymphatic system detoxed. There was blood poisoning. But that required hospitalization for three days and an IV drip! I don’t think a cup of tea would have done the trick.

Bio

I’m an event planner who always has multiple mugs of tea beside me. Hobbies other than tea include board games, video games, cooking international dishes, science fiction, hiking, jigsaw puzzles, tap dancing, reading, listening to podcasts, and playing with my troublesome kitties.

Favorite flavors: dessert flavors, nutty, melon, mint, strawberry, anything rooibos-related.

Don’t prefer: Smoky, rosemary, savory flavors, floral (other than lavender), plain tea.

I always drink flavored tea, and preferably caffeine-free or black. I’ll try just about anything though! Let me know if you’re interested in a swap!

My ratings are kind of meaningless, but basically
90-100 pretty perfect
80-89 really good
70-79 good, but not the best
60-69 okay, but probably not for me
1-59 varying degrees of dislike
