I won this in the weekly (Monday) twitter contest @ShantiTea – they also have contests on their ShantiTea facebook page. I was able to pick out any tea I wanted when I won.
I don’t like that I am unable to find the ingredients list.
I choose this one for the name, and also because I have enough caffeinated teas and needed more caffeine free choices.
This is a ho-hum kind of tea, it’s not bad but it doesn’t stand out in any way.
