I started the day with a cup of Elder Berry Tea, from Cheryl’s Herbs, an herb shop here in St. Louis that sells all kinds of medicinal herbs, tinctures, essential oils, etc. http://www.cherylsherbs.com/
I always drink Elder Berry in the Fall, Winter, & Spring. When I’m having allergies, my immune system gets low, and Elder Berry has wonderful antiviral properties, and other beneficial qualities.
It’s not a tea I drink for pleasure, but it isn’t really objectionable either. The smell is, of course, berry like, but with overtones of Valerian (another of my favorite herbs). The taste is slightly sweet & tart. I usually use 1 T for a cup of hot tea, sometimes stronger if I’m under the weather, & sometimes with a pinch of stevia. I have a tendency to lung ailments in the Fall, & I’ve seen this tea make a big difference, so I drink it often!
These statements haven’t been approved by meddling government agencies that are in the pocket of the pharmaceutical companies.

Hmmm…I’ve never tried an elderberry tea before. Maybe I ought to expand my horizons a bit.
I’ll include some in your box of tea, Sis!
BTW, I still can’t seem to access your bio or add you to my list of people I’m following.
I have a bio and I can see it, I can put things in my cupboard, rate teas, and comment on people’s tea reviews, but that’s about it. I still get mostly blanks on my dashboard and can’t write any tea reviews yet. Hopefully Monday or Tuesday they’ll get things fixed.
