drank Throat Rescue by DAVIDsTEA
2172 tasting notes

I’m drinking this tonight not for a sore throat but for an unsettled stomach. Most of the herbs in this blend are said to work well for digestion and/or stomach issues – in fact, from what I can tell, every herb aside from the nettle leaves has some sort of benefit for the digestive tract.

The flavor isn’t great and I didn’t expect it to be since I’m not a fan of licorice root. I wish I could taste some of the other flavors, like the cardamom or the peppermint, but the licorice root is so strong it’s hard for me to pick out any of the others.

Gosh, it was really hard for me to finish this one. Not leaving a rating because hey maybe it does what it says it does, but by the end of the cup it’s just so gross.

Flavors: Bitter, Fennel Seed, Licorice, Spicy

Preparation
Boiling 7 min, 0 sec 2 tsp 8 OZ / 236 ML

I use shou puerh and peppermint to settle my stomach. Both are good for digestion. Numi used to make a basil mint puerh that was good for this too, and I miss it!

Michelle – Do you mix them together? My go-to lately has been Mindful Mint from QNTM Leaf. It settles my stomach, my nerves, everything. :)

Lifetime student. Lover of books and paper and ink. Kitchen dweller. Aspiring herbalist, excessively proud cat lady, and tea fanatic. Thirty-something elder millennial. She/her.

I love flavored black teas most of all, always with cream and honey. I enjoy floral and fruity teas, as well as flavored or scented ones. I’m not overly fond of green or white teas, but I’ve found a few that I enjoy.

I’m open to tea swaps and/or just sharing what’s in my tea cabinet! Please reach out if you see something I have that you’d like to try. I do my best to update my cupboard regularly.

Rating Scale

1-20: By far, one of the worst teas I’ve tasted. I most certainly will not finish my cup and will likely “gift” the rest to my sweet husband, James, who almost always enjoys the teas I dislike (and vice versa).

21-49: This tea is not good, but if I mix it with another tea or find another steeping method I might be able to finish it.

50-69: This one is just okay. I might drink it again if someone were to give it to me, but I probably won’t be buying more for myself.

70-79: This is a consistently good tea. It’s reliable but not necessarily special.

80-90: This one is a notch above the rest and I would gladly enjoy a cup of it any day of the week. I’ll likely be keeping this in my cupboard, but it isn’t one of my all-time favorites.

91-95: One small change and this tea would be perfect. I’ll definitely have a stash of this in my kitchen if you come over for tea.

96-100: No words can describe this tea. It’s an experience, an aha moment. Closed eyes, wide smile, encompassing warmth. Absolutely incredible. Perfect.
