TTB: Repacked. Plastic bags and tea don’t mix. Okay for short-term storage, but even short-term can ruin a tea if it’s stored with the wrong things. Is this Teavivre though? They have branched out quite a bit from their original tea offerings, but I feel like this blend comes from a more niche company.
Smells very herbal. Savory, bits of thyme. Etc. Lots of unique herbal notes in the wet leaf. The liquor aroma reminds me of a freshly made spaghetti sauce. The flavor is unique. Very mellow and easy on the stomach. Lots of intertwining herbals notes.
From TTB 2019/2020.
I love that there are a few herbs in the box that aren’t mixed into blends. I’ve been pulling out my herb books and doing some searching online tonight to learn more about the properties of the herbs included. The first one I’m trying is the red clover. Teavivre no longer has this listed on their website so I looked in a few other places to learn more about red clover blossoms and how to steep them.
The Herbal Academy has a good write-up here – https://theherbalacademy.com/red-clover-tea/ – that gives some info on how to make a red clover tea from dried blossoms. I used their recommendations to steep my cup tonight. It seemed a good tisane to try since they mention that red clover has mild sedative properties. It’s also good for arthritis and inflammation, both of which I’m irritated by tonight, so why not have a cup?
After steeping, it is so much darker than I expected! I really thought it would be very light in color and in flavor but it’s neither. The taste is a little bitter, but also grassy with a distinct honey note. Aside from the bitterness, which may have been due to my long steep, it’s quite tasty! It’s far from the worst herb I’ve tasted, and I really think it might do well mixed in a blend.
Flavors: Bitter, Dry Grass, Drying, Dust, Honey
In her review of it 5 yr ago, Shae mentioned that Teavivre no longer lists Red Clover. And my quick survey of their annoying website seems to concur. Pity, since my inner bumblebee is attracted to clover. ;-)
Ah! Thank you for the update!!
I remember putting this in a really old TTB many years ago so it was interesting to see it show up again. I didn’t enjoy it then so I didn’t taste it this time. I planned to repackage some more teas but ended up running out of foil baggies.
