This is one of my all time favorite teas. I have been making it for a few years now and it continues to be at the top of my list. For some reason, I really enjoy this tea come the fall. It has a wonderful spice to it that perfectly compliments crisp autumn mornings. A combination of apple, cinnamon, ginger, cardamon and clove are what stand out to me the most. It may just be placebo effect but I like to think this tea gives me a jolt of energy and focus when I need it. Would highly recommend.

Contrary to the other reviews I have read about this tea, I actually really enjoy it! I am caffeine-sensitive but love a cup of tea to wake me up in the morning and this tea is perfect for me. The tartness of the orange is just enough to make me feel bright and awake. I was worried that like some fruit teas, the orange would taste artificial and sugary but this orange is a great tart, herbal infusion. It’s also a great alternative to lemon tea, if you want something slightly less tart but with all the citrusy goodness! My favorite morning caffeine-free tea.

I am a sucker for relaxing, night-time teas. Tea has the wonderful ability to energize us, as well as calm as right back down! I had been on the lookout for a lavender-night-time tea for a while now and when I saw this on sale at Target I had to give it a try. This tea gives off a wonderful lavender aroma but is pleasanty balanced by the hint of chamomile. Very good balance of flavor – was worried it would be like an overpowering aromatherapy candle but it’s absolutely perfect. My new favorite tea to accompany a book before bed!
