Tension Tamer

This is a great herbal tea, and I really like it, although I admit that it does taste somewhat “medicinal”. I do like how the minty taste dances in my mouth for several seconds after each swallow, but ultimately fades to a more subdued flavor. The inclusion of B-vitamins is an added bonus!

We always throw one bag in when we make sweet tea (3/4 gallon or so) and it changes the drink completely.

It’s pretty decent on it’s own also.

I love this tea. In my opinion, it’s one of the best herbal teas I’ve had. Drinking this before doing yoga, or before bedtime makes me one happy gal. After going to Boulder, CO a couple months ago and touring the Celestial Seasonings factory, I am impressed by how organic their teas are. They work with farmers all over the world for the best ingredients. Never though I would digest catnip! :)

Discovered this tea when I was looking for something to help my throat during a particularly nasty sinus infection. Very different, very soothing flavor. Definitely seemed to coat my throat on the way down which was perfect for my coughing. I will purchase this over and over again.

The hops make this tea slightly bitter to me, but I love peppermint, cinnamon, ginger, and lemon. I’ve had pure hops tea and those four ingredients I listed definitely mellow out the hops. I love the earthy, grassy taste to this tea and it’s definitely mellowing me out a little bit, though nowhere near what Rx medication would do. It’s subtle and tasty. I love it with a spoonful of raw/unfiltered local honey and a splash of hazelnut milk.

Weird mouth-puckering blend of mint, eleuthero, chamomile. Tastes like cough medicine.

The name says it all. It works….

An excellent tea to calm the nerves, ease pain and regain female balance. I go to this before I try ibupofen and most of the time it helps immensely. I think it tastes great. If you like minty, sweet, grassy teas and the subtle cinnamon flavor is a nice treat. I find it more calming than Kava tea.

I always have this tea at home. It’s refreshing and soothing at the same time. A very nice herbal blend that always makes me feel better.

My first tea (or tisane, rather). Best with honey and a good book.

With Eleuthero, peppermint, cinnamon, ginger, chamomile, West Indian lemongrass, licorice, catnip, tilia flowers, and natural lemon flavor this is a cup I enjoy as a calm-inducer more than a tasty treat. It does cause your thoughts to be as pure as a misty mountain top, even if I don’t enjoy the taste of some of the ingredients.

I don’t really know how I feel about this one. It isn’t horrible, but it isn’t the greatest tea I’ve ever had either. I picked this one up because of the unique and strange combo of ingredients and I have a unique/strange tea as a result. It is pretty calming which is what I want in the evenings. I don’t think this will be an every night thing, but I can see myself drinking this several times a week. At least until I get a bunch of new caffeine free teas for the evenings.

I’ve been drinking this on and off for a couple of years now and it’s pretty good if you don’t oversteep (a very bad habit I’m trying to break). My taste buds are a little on the stubborn side, but the mint, chamomile, and eluthero ginseng are the strongest flavors to me. Honestly, I love simply smelling the steam of a freshly brewed cup more than drinking it.

Another Celestial Seasonings favorite. Great flavor, and very soothing. i use this as a “comfort” tea.

bleh. not my favorite. too many different flavors that don’t mix well, in my opinion.

I’m not really a big fan of this tea. Not really a hater either. I just don’t prefer the taste. It’s not a bad taste…just not exceptional. Having said that…I do have a box stashed away for STRESS OUT SESSIONS. Today was one of them so I am really putting it to the test. I will NOT put a thumbs down on this because – like I said – it’s not a bad taste – just not what I would go back to over and over again…it’s a tad medicine-E. BUT…hell…if it helps with my stress level I am all for it! I’m Neutral.

Okay, but not anything massively amazing for me.

Love it. Not as minty as most “relaxing” teas, subtle overall. A nice change of pace from chamomile, too.

I’m not a big fan of cinnamon, but I liked it. Not sure about the tension taming attributes though, I guess I’ll have to drink it again tomorrow and see if it does the trick.

Soothing nerves and getting my B vitamins before my interview today.
