While peppermint-spearmint forward (with a little bit of that ‘wet rag’ taste), I really have never cared for the menthol taste mixed with acidic ingredients as it reminds me of medicine like Halls cough drop shudder. In my opinion, this shouldn’t be named only Organic Mint. Not bad but not my taste.

Good quality. Mostly eucalyptus and peppermint, sage didn’t stand out at all. Other ingredients are in background – even the licorice root! – and take any rough edges off the eucalyptus. I’d buy a box.

Bought this only because it has spicebush in it, which is a scent that permeates the memories of Ohio forests.

This tea isn’t particularly pumpkin in taste. After all, how much pumpkin flavor can you pull from a few dried chunks? In the steam, though, it is much like a slice of pumpkin pie without the sickly sweet condensed milk note that makes me recoil when it’s time for Thanksgiving dessert.

This is a fine basic chai that completely washes out with a drop of milk. At least the spices are fresh.

This makes me smile. Raspberry and lemon Pez candies with a hint of rose on a tart fruity punch-tasting hibiscus base with just enough blackberry leaf and licorice root sweetness.

I paid mind to the recommend steep time of 3-4 minutes.

Had hopes — not high hopes — for this based on the ingredients list but like most Yogi teas that have licorice root, that’s pretty much all I taste. That and lemongrass/lemon balm. And lemon oil when I burp. Some cinnamon as it cools. Meh. Also, it is very drying. Tart aftertaste.

Not as aromatic as some chamomile, nor as sweet. Plenty fine with me.

I hardly ever go for chamomile but this is hitting the spot after a much needed sick day. I don’t know how long this was lingering in my aunt’s tea drawer. It’s pretty fresh but I’ve steeped it too long because it’s catching a bit in the throat. Mellow and sweet. Chamomile. What more can I say?

This session is dominated by red woods, diaphoretic camphor, black pepppercorn, dried ginger, abandoned concrete building in old humid continental forest, dried-out decayed wood, a little bit of damp cigarette smoke. Spicy-hot prickle. Strong energy floods my vessel from top of crown into trunk and fingertips. Feel tingling as if wearing a chin strap. As if the jaw is made of silly putty and somebody is stretching it from my ears down over the front of my throat. Floored. Sitting required. Do I even have legs? Bob Oblong.

Rich and sweet winter squash flavor with nuances of honeydew, sweet corn and burnt sugar. A distinctive cooling sensation, sweet like the best peppermint, coats the throat, while the body is flooded with warmth. I find myself drinking each pour quickly and with ease. A perfect match for a day that feels like fall.

This tea, like other GABAs, does very well with boiling water and long steeps. Adding more leaf creates a richer, thicker brew with nutty and buttery overtones; however, only 3g:100mL was used for this satisying final session.
