My roommate is awful… just awful. And she doesn’t even know I think this about her. Why? Because of Kava Stress Relief. A nice welcoming blend of herbs and spices that I drink on frequent occasion. Now in an argument between bagged tea and loose leaf, loose leaf wins from a culinary perspective. But bagged teas are homey, and easy. They don’t often require special temperatures, and the best ones (in my opinion) don’t even require specific steep times. You just pull the bag out when you feel good and ready! Now I could wax poetic about the “levels of intriguing flavor” and the “timeline of flavor that is first bold, and then shy”. But really what it comes down to is that Kava Stress Relief is a great drink, and has a place in my tea cupboard next to any Pu-Erh that I can afford.
Preparation
This is a fantastic tisane. The licorice spice imparts a natural sweetness. However the licorice is artfully mitigated by a host of other spices that make this one of the best licorice teas I have ever tasted. This wonderful tisane tickles the tongue and lingers just the right amount of time. It has a great mouthfeel, despite the presence of the abundance of licorice spice. Because of the presence of licorice spice, this tisane can stain the palette for quite some time, though not as long as Stash’s verity. It makes a great after dinner, or evening drink.
Preparation
Tastes nasty — especailly for someone who doesn’t like licorice. But it can help soothe clogged sinuses and sore throats. I found it helped ease the pain of sinus headaches while waiting for the Benedryl to kick in.
Preparation
Honestly, if I tea is supposed to be medicinal I care less about how it tastes (unless it’s REALLY gag-worthy) than how effective it is.
Sorry it’s taken me so long to get back to you, Silvermage. Sure — I could send you a couple of bags. They’re individually wrapped. My email is [email protected]. It’s best to get a hold of me that way.
I tend to get a bit of a dry cough at night time and this helps soothe my itchy throat sometimes. I was somewhat surprised to find only two tea bags left when I went rooting through the tea cupboard looking for this. Not bad for a tea I initially didn’t care for. ;)
Preparation
*looks into the box * Huh, this tea’s been vanishing faster than I realized – there’s only three bags left. It feels so unbelievably good on my sore throat though, so I might get another box just to add to my herbal medicine collection.
Preparation
You know, I’ve found that since I’ve started drinking this tea that I’ve disliked the licorice flavour less as time goes on. It seems to only be the natural licorice root that this phenomena applies to, though; black licorice and licorice-flavoured jellybeans still garner a “Yurgh!” reaction from me.
Preparation
My throat was feeling scratchy again today so I dug out this tea. I wonder if I might be slightly allergic to something in the air right now, or maybe I just need to catch up on my dusting and house cleaning (urgh).
This seems to be turning into my go-to tea for sore throats when I don’t want the sleep-inducing effect of the cherry bark that’s in Traditional Medicinal’s Throat Coat tea (which is awesome BTW and also has licorice root in it).
Preparation
Argh, Yogi’s teabags always tear on me for some reason – I hate having floaty bits in my tea!
Steeped for 3.5 minutes. No matter how much or how little I steep it it tastes like I’ve added 3 or 4 teaspoons of sugar due to the licorice root in the tea.
Preparation
Not being a huge licorice fan I was a bit dubious about this one but it’s actually quite nice. The licorice lends the tea a sweetness and its flavor is quite natural and not overly pronounced. I wish I could taste the other ingredients a bit more though, maybe I need to steep it longer.
Love this one! It has such a delicious flavor. I could almost taste an undercurrent of chocolate in the drink. It has one of the more delicious tastes and smells of the bagged teas I’ve tried.
May have to try this…I’ve popped medicinal kava in capsule form and it is effective.
