This is the best of the acme teas I’ve tried so far, and the closet I’ve come to purchasing a larger amount – the evening after drinking the mug I found myself cart building on Acme’s website. I didn’t pull the trigger though; I still want to try all the samples they sent before I place that order…
To start though; I think I’ve had enough of Acme’s teas at this point and noticed a consistent enough feeling about a half hour or so after drinking each mug to say with confidence that I am definitely have a positive reaction to the CBD. After drinking a mug of each one, I feel very relaxed and calm and the tension that I usually hold in my shoulders (despite trying not to) just seems to melt away – along with headaches! I also do feel relaxed and easy enough that they help with my insomnia too. I honestly wasn’t expecting to have such a consistent response to the CBD teas, but it’s sort of incredible and I know definitely want to incorporate probably two different flavours into my stash. Something caffeinated for during the day, and something caffeine free for the evenings…
In terms of taste, I thought this was really lovely as well! It did reminds me much more of a nectarine or even apricot type of flavour over a peach – and given the name that’s probably not a great thing in terms of flavour execution but it’s splitting hairs because it’s still pretty darn similar and it tasted great regardless. That sort of herbaceous note from the hemp that I’ve been getting in nearly all of these samples also works REALLY well with that stone fruit element – sort of like the idea of a peach and thyme pairing, but with “nectarine and hemp”. There was also a very floral undertone and it was driving me crazy trying to figure out why, but I finally realized that it’s because there’s jasmine in the blend – I had initially really blanked on that.
Overall though, just a really well balanced cup and to be completely honest just far more nuanced and elegant in flavour profile than anything I was expecting to be getting from these teas…
