Yes it is rather bitter (try multiple short steeps to deal with this) but it does make me feel a lot better. This is what I drink every night before bedtime.

This is my evening tonic, brewed up with a bit of chrysanthemum. It is a medicinal dose, really, and I recommend multiple short steeps because it is so bitter, but damn…I do feel better when I drink this stuff regularly.
