45 Tasting Notes
LOVE this when I’m feeling ill (I have asthma and sinus issues, so that’s often). A sweet herbal blend with notes of fennel and pepper. Especially nice for the throat with a bit of honey added.
Flavors: Fennel, Licorice, Pepper
Preparation
A tasty herbal tea with a kick that I remember fondly from my time in South America. I was always served this tea with plenty of raw sugar, so that is the way I prefer it. Unfortunately it is unavailable and illegal in the US because it is made from the coca leaf, which is also the source of cocaine. In such a small, untreated amount, the coca only serves as a mild stimulant along the lines of a coffee, but it is nevertheless illegal. I believe decocanated varieties may be available in the US.
Flavors: Cut Grass, Herbs
Preparation
You can get it in the States if you know where to look :)
This tea is delicious and, since it contains both lavender and chamomile, very helpful when it comes to sleep. I’m incredibly sad that it no longer seems to be available! It was a favorite of mine.
Flavors: Licorice, Peppermint
