Finally digging into the treasure trove of loose-leaf samples from my Foodzie box from LiberTEAS! I made beef bowls tonight, and they were delicious but very spicy and a little heavy. I was feeling a little blargh-y afterwards and wanted something light and refreshing… and really, what fits that better than eucalyptus? I’ve never had it in a tisane before but when I was young my mom would always mix eucalyptus oil and water on the stove and boil it all day long, so this is a very nostalgic ingredient for me.
This is a light, airy, refreshing blend—a nice mix of citrus and mint, but it’s lively and not at all a sleep-inducing blend which I was a little worried about. There’s a tiny hint of fruit, but not enough to make this a “fruity” tea. It’s got a great balance, and is the perfect tea for following up an over-indulgent dinner. I used to think that I didn’t really like herbal blends, but I think my issue was with mediocre bagged ones—so far, I’ve liked pretty much all of the loose-leaf ones I’ve tried!

Someday I will subscribe to the foodzie box … someday….maybe I will be less poor when I stop buying so much tea!
It’s definitely worthwhile—I was on a tea-buying hiatus when I saw that LiberTEAS put them back up for order. $25 with shipping for ~40 very generous samples was too good to pass up! Plus now I’ll have new tea to drink for well over a month, which should help with the urge to buy more.
@Azzrian – I love my foodzie box, I don’t think I could ever give up that subscription unless somehow we found ourselves at a point where we absolutely could not afford it any longer.
@Alphakitty: I’m really happy to hear that you like the box I put together for you. Since I receive a minimum of one box from Foodzie per month (occasionally, I’ll buy another one if I can’t resist the theme, like May had Portland box which I had to get because it was Portland, of course, and then they had the some like it hot box and I love spicy food. And … it does help me trim back on my tea supply so that I can keep the tea that I have on hand fresh.
Everyone was raving so much about the Foodzie boxes (from Foodzie, not LiberTEAS – I already bought a tea-filled one from her!) that I looked it up myself, and once again cursed the fact that I live in Canada. Something like that is so up my alley :(
Thanks for the review and glad you enjoyed it!
