carol who drank Cold and Flu Brew by Cheshire fields

467 tasting notes

I’ve had this for awhile but haven’t needed it since I seem to be very healthy now that I’m not around little first graders and their runny noses.

Not much info on this tea but it is like Gypsy Cold Care. My daughter bought this for me on Etsy last year but it seems to have held up well.

I have a bit of a stuffy nose and decided to give this a shot. Smell is delicious and soothing. I can feel my nose opening up as I get ready for a sip. The tea itself is quite good tasting. I’ve gotten to thinking of most ‘medical’ tisanes aren’t that good tasting. This makes me happy and contented. This tea is good for it’s purpose! Feeling better already!

Flavors: Clove, Licorice, Peppermint

Preparation

205 °F / 96 °C 8 min or more 1 tsp 8 OZ / 236 ML

Bio

Retired first grade teacher. I tend to like dessert type/herbal teas as a substitute for sweet treats; flavored black teas and mates to get that energy that I am often lacking ;-p
My husband of 43 years thinks I’m nuts regarding the whole tea thing… but he bought me a Breville for Christmas, so what can I say. :-D
My other interests are reading (books go well with tea :D) and beading. I volunteer at my “old” school teaching reading and I volunteer for the blind. I am trying hard to lose weight ( I have now lost 40 lbs and I’m looking good in my skinny jeans, IMHO) I am now walking about 4.5 miles a day and I am trying to do some core work for about 30 min. 3x a week.

I have been watching Doctor Who for 33years. In case you can’t tell my avatar is two daleks drinking tea! I am always open to swapping Doctor Who books for tea. I have about 120 Doctor Who books that I am eager to send some to a fan. :D Let me know if you would like any books! I love that so many people have begun watching DW!

Also I love swaps, pm me if you’d like to do a swap.

Since I find others’ rating legends helpful, I added my own.

95-100 A once in a lifetime experience; the best there is; will keep this stocked until the cows come home

90-94 First rate; top notch; really terrific; will definitely buy more

80-89 Excellent; likely to become a favorite, will likely buy more

70-79 Very good; would enjoy again, might buy again if in the mood for this particular one or a better, similar version not available or it’s on a really good sale :-)

50-69 Good; wouldn’t pass up if offered, but probably wouldn’t buy again unless craving this particular flavor

Below 50 Meh! Wouldn’t bother drinking it again.
