drank Well Throat by Tea Affair
1104 tasting notes

I came down with the flu yesterday and spent all day and night eating chicken soup and drinking orange juice and ginger ale. Today it seems the worst of my flu-like symptoms have passed and now it seems my flu is turning into a cold. My throat is feeling raw and irritated today so I went to my tea cupboard looking for something that might soothe it. There is a local tea shop where I live that is run by a really nice lady who sells all sorts of loose leaf tea. I go in there now and then to see if she has anything new and during one of my stops she gave me some tea samples to try. This was one of them. I’m sure happy to have it today. I am not a fan of licorice flavour in tea but I know that it’s important to have it in this one because it’s known for helping a sore throat. Once steeped, you can really smell the thyme and the aroma is quite pleasant. The flavour is mostly licorice but it’s not completely taking over. I can also taste the ginger, cinnamon and cardamom. Overall, it’s very herbal tasting and I’m happy to say that it does seem to be helping to soothe my throat so that’s a bonus. Upon re-steep, it’s weaker but still effective.

Flavors: Cinnamon, Ginger, Herbs, Licorice

Wow – headache, flu, and cold?? That sounds miserable! I hope you get some much-needed rest today. You’ve definitely earned it!

Bio

I’ve been a member of Steepster since 2014 and decided to finally update my ancient Bio now that it’s 2022. (Updating again in 2024!)

I’ve loved tea my entire life, since I was a kid. Starting with Orange Pekoe, then Irish Breakfast, Rosehip, Earl Grey, Green and White and now, I’ll drink or at least try, just about any tea.

One of my favourite things to do is meeting my friends at the coffee shop, sitting and sipping for hours while we chat and laugh and enjoy each other. We try to do this at least once a week or when our work schedules match up. Tea and coffee brings people together!

I live in Ontario, Canada and work at a Winners/Homesense combo store.
I have a 12 year old cat, Tucker, who is diabetic and asthmatic (and completely toothless) but still enjoys his life to the fullest and he truly is the sweetest boy.(Tucker sadly passed away in 2023, one month after he turned 14.)

I don’t always post every single time I drink tea, I’m kind of sporatic that way but I do enjoy reading what you all are drinking and your reviews.

Stay safe and healthy!
-Jason
