“First time that I’m trying this tea. It was OK, I was a little bit surprised by the lack of flavour, but it’s usually like that when I first try a tea. We’ll see next time.” Read full tasting note
This potent mix of herbs is bound to help send you to la-la land while tasting like a dream. Chamomile, rosehips, lavender, pink peppercorn, valerian, honeybush and kava kava.
DO NOT DRINK THIS TEA if you have or have had liver problems, frequently use alcoholic beverages, or are taking any medications.
Kava came under the FDA’s scrutiny after a number of European reports that it might cause damage to the liver – including hepatitis, cirrhosis, and liver failure. German & Swiss health authorities have identified approximately 30 such cases, including four cases requiring transplantation, and one death. As a result, regulatory agencies in Germany, Switzerland, France, Canada, & the U.K., have taken actions ranging from warning consumers about the potential risks of kava use, to removing kava-containing products from the marketplace. In the U.S., FDA has received several reports of kava-related liver damage, including a report of a previously healthy young woman who required a liver transplant. Although the incidence appears to be rare, FDA believes consumers should be informed of potential risks.
Kava is ranked among the top 10 herbs sold in the United States and Europe. In a double-blind clinical study testing Kava’s reputed stress relieving properties, Kava was proven not to relieve anxiety more than the placebo (study conducted in 2005 by the University of California: San Francisco). Conclusion: There’s no reason to risk your liver in the hope that you’ll be less stressed out. Drink a different tea!
Company description not available.
I was not expecting this tea to have as much effect on me as it did. I’ve taken valerian root in the past but it’s never helped me sleep, nor has plain old chamomile tea, lavender, etc. Also, valerian has the unfortunate tendency to taste truly awful. I was wary of this tea, to say the least. What sold it was the fact that I love the flavors of all the other ingredients and the intrigue of peppercorns put it over the top.
I finally made a pot when I faced the dilemma of feeling wide awake when I had to get up early the next morning. Maybe it was all placebo effect but within 20 minutes of drinking a cup, I could barely function enough to walk from the couch to my bed. And the flavor? Amazing. Even the valerian was good. Overall, the taste is much more delicate and chamomile-ish than the pungent odor would indicate.
