Honeybush Tranquility

Sipdown (517)!

Finished this one off last night; it was a free sample I got in my last AQTT package. I’ve looked at it a few times on the site, but since it’s very similar to blends from other vendors I’ve had before, like Jessie’s Tea from DT or Just Lovely from Camellia Tea, I’ve always passed it up in favour of other more unique blends.

It was actually very nice though; certainly like the aforementioned teas but I think this was arguably smoother/more heavy on those vanilla elements and that was a very nice touch for me. It made for a really pleasant evening cup of tea even if it wasn’t a unique profile. I think for those looking for a tea with this kind of profile and who are maybe already considering an order with AQTT that this would certainly fill those needs for you, but since I know there are many other companies that do similar blends I would put it in the camp of ‘good tea, not worth going out your way to make an AQTT order specifically for it’. I’d revisit it if sent it again, but also wouldn’t go out of my way to get more of it either.

Side note – I wish AQTT would do more honeybush blends because I’m always looking for more unique caffeine free options to add to my stash and none of the current offerings really jump out to me…

This was a sample in my last Q2T order. I’ve been putting off trying it because I’m not a fan of floral teas. But it’s been a long day and a little spill on the ice has resulted in a very sore shoulder/neck. I thought a tranquility tea might be just what I need before bed.

This brews up a nice rich color. The flavor was almost sweet all on its own. A bit flowery, a bit honey, a bit like a straw that you pluck from the grass and nibble between your teeth on a hot summer day. This will not be a re-order for me as I don’t really like the faintly lavender taste. But if you do like floral teas, you should give this one a try.

I love the floral flavour of this! I drank this hot because I did not have time to make/eat breakfast. I tasted flowers (mostly lavender), honeybush, sweet honey, and various herbs. This is delicious!
