Tazo Rest Herbal Infusion

I have had trouble going to sleep, and read Rest has Valerian Root, so I decided to give it a shot. It smells really flowery but it tastes pretty good after a splash of agave nectar. Now I shall see if I sleep better tonight.

This is a beautiful tea, I read the ingredient list and had to try it. Very glad I did, I love roses and the valerian will help me to sleep. Pleased with the additional ingredients as well, very pleasant surprise.

To be fair, I have a sniffy nose and have had a slightly crappy day.
However, I’m not overly impressed with the slightly herbed-bread smell I’m getting from the tea. The lemon is definitely there. So is the heavy floral hit.
There’s a feet-y smell in my basement office, though, so that’s probably contributing to my overall experience.
It tastes much better than it smells. The flowers that were overpowering when I smelled it sort of turn into dancing little taste fish and flicker across my tongue. It’s got a pretty nice body to it, too. Not as full as a rooibos, but not without some weight.
This isn’t a tea I’d brew myself if I was thinking, “Gee, I could sure use a tea right now,” but it’s perfect for working in the evening.
A tea I can brew, sip and forget about.
But again: sniffy nose; crappy day.
