Cold 911 (Organic)

As far as medicinal teas go, this one is really drinkable. I tend to have it if I have a sore throat or a cold and really enjoy it, even if I’m unwell, which can change your palette.

There’s lots of minty, eucalyptus, citrus-y type flavours, and while the juniper berries don’t do much other than smell nice, they do give the tea an aniseed undertone that’s very nice.

I like how fragrant this tea is and how it’s hard to over-steep. Lovely on a cold day when you’re feeling a bit run down.

Sipdown no. 7 of April 2019 (no. 56 of 2019 total, no. 544 grand total). A sample.

I got a second sample of this when I ordered some cute little glass cups to replace one that broke.

And now that I have some really unpleasant congestion going on, I thought it was a perfect opportunity to have this. This time around, I get a bit of everything, even the orange.

But my original description was pretty spot on. So I’m sticking with it.

Ok so this did remind me of vicks vapor rub…but in a really good way. Very soothing. I enjoyed it and it fended off a headache I was fighting most of the day. Even my hubby who is in no way as keen on tea as I am asked me to order more. This is one to have hot only.

I’m using this tea to head off the cold and sore throat I can feel creeping up on me. The mint and eucalyptus immediately made my throat feel better. It’s not an every day kind of tea, but it’s definitely my go-to for a cold. Imagine that.

This is a great tea to sip on when you’re sick. I woke up with a killer sore throat and this is quite soothing. It’s very minty, medicinal and the eucalyptus is really nice. Just what I needed. I added some honey and ginger to it, perfection!

I’m still alive but not fully functioning right now. Just want people to know that they haven’t been forgotten. Parcels will be sent out soon when everything I touch doesn’t become plague-ridden.

We had some eggnog a couple of weeks ago and I added a splash to this tea and it was really tasty. It was sweet and custardy but the eucalyptus also came through and it was an interesting combo that I would repeat again in winter.

This tea is a very tasty and soothing treat! The eucalyptus flavour is quite prominent at first, but if you leave the tea to steep longer, the citrus and mint notes eventually balance out the eucalyptus. It’s a bit indistinct flavour-wise, but very enjoyable after it has steeped for a while. I recommend at least 7 to 10 minutes to really get a full flavour.

This tea is awesome when I’m sick but the rest of the time I don’t really drink this tea. It’s strongly medicinal.

At first I didn’t like this tea at all… But I only turn to it when I have a cold, and it grew on me because it became really soothing… I only rely on sample because I don’t need it that often, only when I’m sick, which I am right now unfortunately. It’s mainly peppermint and citrusy.
