Thanks to Stephanie for letting me sample this tea. I was feeling under the weather last week and reached for this to soothe my sore throat and cold. Although my tastebuds were a little wonky from being sick, I found it quite enjoyable and vastly prefer it to run-of-the-mill medicinal teas.
This tea is herbaceous and spicy, both in taste and smell with a hint of mintiness. The herbaceousness dominants the first steep but remains pleasant, never medicinal. A mellow ginger flavor accents the tea and gives a nice peppery finish. The second steep was even better. Lemony, less spicy and slightly sweet. I didn’t detect the rose or goji berries though that’s probably because I didn’t scoop any in my tea spoon.
This is a great tasting tisane whether or not you’re sick. I think it will appeal to people who don’t like herbals. Really wish Verdant still carried this tea.
