I’ve been slowly working my way through a box of this one. I swear this tea smells exactly like soap when you put your nose in the cup. The flavor is odd because there’s lots of things going on in here that seem to be competing, chamomile, mint, lemongrass, valerian, hops, anise, ginger, kind of overkill but the overall effect is relaxing for sure. I just don’t think this tastes particularly good. I’ve been having problems sleeping lately & I’m hoping this sends me off into slumberland, I might even have 2 cups.

Normally I try to avoid teas (tisanes) with more than 3 ingredients. Its kind of hard to avoid in this type drink, unless you want pretty much straight chamomile. I don’t mind this one as it doesn’t have spearmint. To me it is kind of Kool-Aid like, especially with a little Splenda.

Bleh, it left a bad aftertaste in my mouth and didn’t really help me sleep!

Sounds like you might want to find someone who wants this one and send it along….

I think I have finished off the box or nearly so…

I am a fan of many different teas but my favorites are blacks and oolongs, chai, also like darjeeling and pu-erh. I’n always learning and expanding my horizons!

Dislikes include: bergamot, jasmine, highly tannic or bitter teas, overly judgmental and bitter people. :)

Live in San Francisco, I’m a SINK (single income, no kids) and love the urban life, but traveling out to the middle of nowhere is always fun too.

I tend to not drink things I know I will hate so a lot of my tea ratings are on the higher side. Here’s my rating system, sorta

95-100 I love this tea and would like to keep it around

94-90 An excellent tea which I may or may not repurchase

89-80 Pretty good, above average

79-70 Acceptable

69-60 Mundane – Will probably drink it if I have it

59-50 Ick
