Mastress Alita’s Monthly Sipdown Challenge
May 2022 → An herbal tea
I’m switching to no caffeine for the night, so I thought I’d have a feel good/good for me tea. I’m not sure I’ve had this one before, but I was expecting it to be much darker than it is because of the dandelion. It’s very light in color and somewhat light in flavor, though what flavor there is reminds me of dirt. I added some honey and the juice of half a lemon. The honey didn’t do much aside from making it taste like sweet dirt, but the lemon helped exponentially. Probably because it basically overwhelmed all the other flavors.
Reviews on Amazon suggest this blend has helped a lot of people feel better, so I can tolerate the flavor if it helps on sluggish days. I’m guessing multiple cups are needed to see any sort of positive result though, and I’m not sure I want to be drinking this daily.

Flavors: Dirt
I laughed so hard! I have never had dandelion tea. I like shu puerh so maybe I would like it, dirt flavor and all.
Maybe so! I’ve had dandelion teas that I like but this one was watery and not great. The ones I’ve enjoyed were darker and fuller in flavor. I like shu puerh too but maybe I haven’t had an earthy one? I’m certainly no expert on those though.
