You have to like the smell and taste of valerian root to like this. It is an effective sleep aid if you can get past that, but to me, the smell and taste were like somebody with dirty feet stepped into my spicy chai mix.
This smells really bad when dry and when brewing.
I added milk but didn’t have to add sweetener. I tried to not inhale the aromatic aspects while taking as large sips as I could to get it down sort of like medicine. Even though the chai blend of spices is quite bold with this, and that sort seems to be of good quality, all of the good aspects are overpowered by the valerian root taste and smell. I wish there was NO valerian taste to this.
If they had used a lot less valerian, then this blend might’ve been drinkable. I do not understand all the rave reviews, except when I tried to submit a review to their site, it never uploaded my negative review, even with multiple attempts. Perhaps this is why it’s “highly” rated on their site.
I do not recommend, even for the sleepy aspect, because it’s just undrinkable, in my opinion.
