Pitta Ayurvedic

This is the second of two Ayurvedic teas I purchased in my most recent Davids Tea order. This one is distinctly more herbal in character than the Kapha blend I tried a few days ago. It smells like peppermint and miscellaneous herbs with a touch of citrus – not an off-putting scent but not terribly compelling either. The hibiscus in the ingredient list had me worried, but in this case it was so subtle I could barely taste it beyond a faint sourness. The flavour is rather minty with unidentifiable herbal notes. It’s not objectionable, though I don’t find it particularly remarkable either.

I was looking for a substitute for straight raspberry leaf tea (can’t stand the taste, but I like the benefits), so I gave this a try. Much better than plain raspberry leaf tea, but I don’t know if I like it enough for it to be a daily drink.

This tea is the YUM! I brought mine to work, because, as the tea container states, nobody wants “an explosion” in the workplace. Too bad, I had only been at work less than two hours and needed some :-P

I would recommend this as a great decaffeinated tea for evening time. It has lots of soft, fruity, and flowery flavors.

And I definitely feel more relaxed after having my cup!

This tea tastes exactly like the fruity, yellow Trident gum. I think it’s passion berry or tropical twist or something or other. It smells like it, too. I love it to bits, and it’s certainly part of my permanent collection. I don’t know if it does anything to keep me from being angry, but it definitely tastes absolutely delicious. I’m in love with the citrus-y floral flavour, and I actually quite like that I can’t put my finger on exactly what I’m tasting at each moment. As long as it makes me feel good and happy, it’s doing its job.

As a side note, contrary to what another person said, this tea doesn’t make me sleepy. But I’ve found that certain ingredients in tea definitely have different effects on different people, so try it out for yourself and see what happens :-)

this tea is on the verge of a taste i dislike but cannot pinpoint exactly what it is. more one of the teas i’d drink for benefit rather than taste/enjoyment, similar to those cold/flu teas. who knows if it really works in terms of what the Davids description says, probably mostly a placebo effect, but i’ll take it. i have no issues with mind tricks to calm down.

I bought this tea online so I didn’t have a chance to smell it… When I got it I couldn’t bring myself to drink it cause the smell gave me a headache and couldn’t imagine what the taste would be. After reading a few reviews on here I decided to give it a try and was pleasantly surprised.. It tasted ok.. More like a mint tea… I won’t be buying more but at least I will finish the 50g bag I bought,,

Can’t say I’ll be lining up for this one..

I only drink Pitta tea when my dosha is out of balance. It is more like medicine to me. For taste I chose other blends.
If a person feels irritated and their Pitta is out of balance it is best to drink the Pitta tea when it has cooled off.
In order for it to work you need to drink few cups a day for few days.

Meh. I had high hopes for this tea, not only did it smell yummy and have all sorts of fantastic ingredients but it’s supposed to make you less cranky…score! The perfect workplace tea, or so it seemed…it didn’t taste like much and it left me feeling bloated and a little snoozy (but still irritated, haha.)

k – so i am a very positive person and i cracked up laughing thinking there is a tea out there to calm your anger ….so i bought a bunch of it…then figured, maybe i should try it to see if i like it – well wouldn’t you know my blood pressured just plummited and next thing going i’m fighting to stay awake because i keep getting knocked out by this tea – i only had a couple of mouth fulls….i would definitely err to caution on this potent tea . the day i get really pissed, sure it will work. but if you are happy -go-lucky like me, be prepared to be knocked out! [now who is more aggresive in nature, eh?]
