I got this at DT a while ago and am just getting around to trying it now. It’s good to have a few herbal nighttime choices, especially on an evening like today where it’s pouring down rain. We need the rain and I’m not really complaining, just being cozy. :)

Valerian root is a very distinctive (bad) smelling herb, kind of like stinky feet. I have to wonder if DT was just looking for ways to disguise the valerian. This is an interesting mix of mint and other herbs with a bit of apple flavor.

Something about the aroma of this reminds me of Robitussin, oddly enough. I can’t say too much about the flavor, it’s relatively benign and reminds me a bit of chamomile. A bit apple-y, a bit minty, a bit herbal-y, and some vanilla that seems artificial to me. I would probably prefer a cup of plain chamomile over this, but that’s just me. I guess I’ll report back later on how well it helped me to sleep :)

Live in San Francisco, I’m a SINK (single income, no kids) and love the urban life, but traveling out to the middle of nowhere is always fun too.

I tend to not drink things I know I will hate so a lot of my tea ratings are on the higher side. Here’s my rating system, sorta

95-100 I love this tea and would like to keep it around

94-90 An excellent tea which I may or may not repurchase

89-80 Pretty good, above average

79-70 Acceptable
