I have to confess, I was leery of trying a new botanical wellness tea, even if though it was from Rishi. I have tasted quite a few herbal blends lately that were supposedly wellness teas that tasted more like medicine than anything i wanted to drink for pleasure. I happen to think that drinking a tea for pleasure is more important than drinking it for wellness purposes.
I should have trusted Rishi. I have never had a bad tasting tea from them. The tea definitely smells and tastes herbal, but in a good way, in a herb garden in the warmth of late summer way. The peppermint was the predominant flavor, but I could also taste the other herbs. What I could not taste was the valerian root, the primary ingredient that causes this tea to be relaxing and calming. But that’s a good thing. Valerian root has an odd taste that most people find unpleasant.
