I received my first order from Whispering Pines today and this is the tea that I tried first.
As all the teas from this and three other orders were sitting out on my counter, the scent from this one stood out the most. I didn’t recognize it as safflower as I didn’t know what safflower smelled like before. To be honest, the smell wasn’t terribly inviting, yet I chose to try it first anyway. I was excited about an elderberry tea. Elderberry syrup is my remedy of choice every flu season and it works! If I could have it in tea instead, bonus! I brewed 16oz to take in a thermos and share with my parents this evening. I only poured a small bit for myself to sample. I was undecided about the first couple sips, but as I finished my small cup, the taste became more comforting and I can definitely see myself stocking up on this for winter time. My mother and sister really loved it and my father liked it OK too so I sold them the rest of the bag (They are moving to Montana in a week, so I thought it more convenient to sell them mine than to place an order when their address in in limbo :p) Now I need to buy more for myself! But I’m out of money for a couple weeks :(

Glad you enjoyed it! :) I’m going to be putting plain herbals on the site today, and pure elder berry will be one of the options :)
Ah gee, you can’t do that yet, I’m out of money till next payday! But if you tempt me, I’ll have to explain why I’m serving only tea for dinner, having spent the grocery money on it. LOL.
I decided to hold off…for a day ;) There’s now a ton of basic herbal options, most being $2/oz. Enjoy!
