Herbal and Decaf Traveling Tea Box, Summer 2025.
Sun Garden. Apsara.
Bulk cellophane bag of dried herb blend: Camomile, Peppermint, Rose Petals, Calendula Flowers, Cornflower. Prepared as directed: 2.5 g. steeped in 8 oz. boiling alpine spring water for 5 min. All I smell and taste is chamomile and peppermint, in a slightly vegetal background. Not sure what happened to the 11% rose petals, maybe they were from a non-fragrant variety of rose, though I couldn’t visually distinguish them from potential calendula and cornflower either, despite being in supposed greater quantity. No red petals as in the advertising photo posted here. Fortunately I like both chamomile and peppermint, which were well-balanced in a terrific cuppa relaxation from Riga. I may try blending some of my chamomile stockpile with peppermint leaves, now that I’ve had a chance to try this one! I would recommend, and rate this as 70.
Flavors: Chamomile, Peppermint, Vegetal
Glad you liked it!
I did like it, Martin! Thanks! Since I only enjoy the fragrance of rose, but not rose flavour, I was somewhat pleased that I didn’t notice it in this tisane. I felt the mint and chamomile worked well together, and didn’t need anything more. Growing up in California, we had mint in the flower bed, and we sometimes made mint teas. Now, presence of mint reminds me of happier days when I was politically oblivious
