Popular Tasting Notes
I have a hard time not buying tea when I’m in the grocery store, even if I know it’s going to sit on the shelf for months and months. I bought this one to aid digestion. There’s nothing terrible about it, but nothing great, either. Sometimes I add it to black tea when I’m mixing a chai. In essence – “meh.”
The first notes that hits me are chamomile and linden. I think the rooibos has dulled down the overall flavor just a bit. This tisane isn’t very exciting to me, as it has a very monotone character, but it might make a good sleepy-time tea.
I’ll try steeping it for longer and see if that brings out any of the other, more interesting, components (like lemon myrtle, hyssop, cyani and rose petals).
Preparation
This tea really helped with my motion sickness honestly! It was easy to drink iced and I would make it before road trips as to feel better during the ride. I would recommend and to not put to many leaves in to make it to strong.
Flavors: Ginger
Preparation
As an afterthought, this was the tea bag that just did not quit. I brewed my sample bag a friend had given me, shared it with the boyfriend, and went out for supper with a friend. When I walked back in I saw the tea steeping on the counter again. I asked if he was trying to steep it again (as I am really not generally fond of second steep cups) and he admitted this was the fourth steep! Dubiously, I gave it a shot and he was right, the flavour was holding up brilliantly. It wasn’t quite as bright a flavour as the first cup had been but, given the cup we were on, I think I can lower my flavour expectations just a pinch. Very impressed with this tea, one of my definite favourites hot!
