Get Relaxed - No.14 (Wellness Collection)

Wow when I opened the tin I thought this seemed more like something better suited to a bath soap/soak. Truth be told it also smells that way while I’m letting it infuse. On the upside it takes me back to my grandparents house and all the fun bath salts and other perfumed products my grandmother kept…which was always very comforting to me when I visited.

I’m getting a lot of lavender and not much rooibos with each sip. I am also getting the hint of rose that others have mentioned. In all a pretty good relaxing tea. Which I really need tonight (well morning as it is after midnight). I think this might end up being one of my “go to” chill out teas for the evening.

1 bag for 250mL water @100C, steeped til I finish drinking it, drunk bare.

First, I gotta complain: that’s one stingy pinch of leaves in the teabag.

The formulation of Get Relaxed I’ve got contains no kava. Ingredients: organic rooibos (leaf); linden (flowers); passionflower (aerial parts); chamomile (flower); English Lavender (flower); Damask Rose (petals). Chamomile, lavender and passionflower each can help me sleep; together they’re a potent team. Scented with rose, they’re nigh-on irresistible. Sometimes I think of old-lady perfume when I smell this tisane, and that’s fine. It is floral. And it tastes like a blend of rooibos, lavender and rose. But the leaves in the bag are quite stale, and the portion is small. It takes at least eight minutes to steep anything worth tasting. I could do much better making my own blend, but I bought this silly stuff and spent quite a bit of money on it, so now I need to drink it.

It works, it tastes mostly as you’d expect, but it could be fresher. Especially for the price: $14.00 for 36 teabags.

tastes like a balanced blend of lavender and rooibos, with a hint of rose. Not too perfumey or too woody or too “herby.” Ok I guess. Will let you know if it calms me down. I do like the scent, but could do with less rose…

The smell opening the can nearly overwhelmed me. But not bad as a tea. Very floral and relaxing.

After a great yoga session on a Sundat afternoon, I had my first cup of this tea. Tasted mostly the roses, the chamomile taste is not detectable…just a nice relaxing herbal….

I didn’t like this the first time I tried it- I realized I hadn’t added enough honey because omg with honey it becomes sooo yummy and relaxing. I love this tea and drink it whenever I need a breather.

This is a tea I purchased for my stress-ridden boyfriend over a year ago, and the lavender-rosey mix definitely has a relaxing effect without being too tart or flowery at all. The flavour is consistent throughout, and is our go-to tea for cozy movie nights to this day. I’ll purchase this for myself at some point without a doubt.

I love the smell of lavender, but it turns out that does not translate into a love of the taste. I thought the bouquet was overwhelming and I did not enjoy this tea.

I got this tea as a birthday present as I normally do not by bagged tea or herbal/rooibos tisanes, but I was quite amazed at not only the taste but the longevity of the tea leaves.

The first thing you smell when you open the canister is rose. It’s so strong you can taste it.

It says to steep one tea bag in a “cup” of boiling purified water, but to me a cup of tea is 6 oz so that’s the measurement I used. I steeped it for 7 min.

I was kinda nervous about this tea because I hate chamomile, but was pleasantly surprised that the smooth rooibos blended very nice w/ the lavender and the rose so I didn’t even notice the chamomile. Rose was the primary flavor just as it was the primary sent, but it was cut very gently by the rooibos so it didn’t taste like I was drinking my grandmother’s perfume.

If you are like me and don’t drink herbals or rooibos, I’d encourage you to still buy this but rather than steeping it water, steep it in your favorite green or white tea.

I was also surprised that it did have a relaxing effect. I know chamomile does calm the stomach, but when I drink this I do feel some of the stress leave my body.

But most surprising of all was it’s ability to stand up to reinfusion. I got 3 great infusions by increasing the infusion time by 1 min for each cup. I probably could have even gotten a fourth.

Off the nose, at first, it is distinctly “perfumey.” After letting it sit for a moment, it moved into more a potpourri with lavender and rose smell. The tea is enjoyable and actually tastes how I would imagine potpourri would taste like. With a light finish, get relaxed has a spiced undertone to it. The rose flavor is very slight. Like sugarbloodsucker said, the lavender is very strong.

Steeped 7 minutes in 180 degree water.

Very strong lavender, and not at all herbal tasting, despite all the herbs. Really wish you could taste the rose!
