Traditional Medicinals

The peppermint in this tea is a perfectly refreshing! I drink this on those nights where I have an unsettled stomach and need to wind down. It is one of the staples of my tea collection.

Strangely sweet and quite effective with lots of honey. Tastes a lot better than cough syrup at least. I steep the whole 15 minutes, covered, and then usually forget to take the bag out.

This is not supposed to taste good, but is rather pleasing. Taste Medicinal (Which isn’t surprising) but wasn’t hard to drink at all. Hard to tell if its helping, but we will know in time.

It works. I don’t love these flavors unless I have a sore throat, but it’ll fix you up good.

For anyone who likes peppermint, this tea is for you! Wow! It sure does pack a punch! I like to have a cup of this when I am not feeling too well. It puts my tummy at ease and soothes my throat…

I was introduced to this tea about a year ago and I absolutely love it! It is a great way to unwind and ease into the evening. The flavors are very complimentary to each other, neither one being too overpowering.

This is more an herbal tea blend than a maté, the pleasant lemon flavour being derived from lemongrass and lemon myrtle leaves. While pleasant, lemon overpowers the maté to the point that it is not possible to distinguish its true flavour.

This tea, I believe, can not be rated accurately due to the fact that I use it for a sleep -aide. If I was rating it for taste, it would probably be around a 50%. However, the overall experience is much better. The aroma promotes relaxation and almost reminds me of eucalyptus or mint.

I have not yet been able to master a great sleepy time tea with loose leaf; therefore, this is the best bet.

This is the worst tea I have ever had. Definitely can tell that it coats your throat, which is fine, but it tastes like liquorish to me which is really nasty. Overpowering liquorish tea.

perfect balance between the mint and chamomile earthy flavor

Anyone have some loose leaf tea recommendations that are as yummy and effective as this tea??? A perfect accompaniment to any meal, works amazingly well for indigestion and nausea ;-)

Before I discovered my love of loose leaf tea, Traditional Medicinals was one of my favorite go-to bagged brews. Pregnancy spurred me into finding an affordable, easy to brew, but still tasty tea that would help support my body during such a hormonal time. Organic Pregnancy Tea has fit the bill!

I steep two bags to a cup for a stronger flavor. I use boiling hot water, cover my cup, and steep for at least 10 minutes, but not quite 15. I add about a half teaspoon of sugar to the cup as well.

The tea brews up a fairly dark brown color and is light and minty tasting. I don’t find this tea bitter or astringent like at all, which some of the bagged medicinal teas have issues with. This is a great morning and afternoon tea since the minty taste is quite refreshing. It does end with a bit of a dry mouth, but following up this cup with a glass of water is a good idea for pregnant ladies!

Not sure how much of an effect on my pregnancy or birth this tea has had or will have (baby is due in about 6 weeks!) but I’ve also not been consistent in drinking it. I may try to be better about having at least a cup a day until the end of the pregnancy now as a bit of an experiment!

This tea tastes pretty good and I will start to drink it to boost my immune system once I notice co-workers getting sick.

Like Throat Coat, this is a tea that I would only use while sick. It taste decent and seems to help, which is a nice comfort.

I wouldn’t drink this tea everyday, but when you have a terrible sore throat it is life saver. Be sure to follow the directions on the back and use some honey to increase the benefits. Using honey also made the taste easier to transition to, but now that I know what to expect, I wouldn’t feel like I absolutely had to use honey.

I am a bit of a loose tea snob.
However, when I have tummy troubles I do not care, I just want some relief.
I like this tea.
As well as this companies Ginger tea.
They both are very effective.
I love this peppermint tea because if my nervous tummy gets nauseous or I ate something rich, this tea simply makes you feel less full and queasy.
I always try to keep a box of this around for tummy troubles.
Plus, you can re-steep the bags 2-3 times!

Sometimes lavender is too much for me in tea, but I don’t actually mind it here. Today is the second afternoon I’ve had a headache and I am starting to wonder if I need to cut back on my caffeine consumption. I was trying to make it through the late afternoon without any but I was practically falling asleep.

Anyway lavender is supposed to be good for headaches, maybe this will help. :-/

This stuff is like an ancient relic in my cupboard since I have no idea how long I’ve had it or when I bought it. I don’t buy too many teabags anymore now that I’ve discovered a store where I can get most of my herbs in bulk.

Today has been a crazy day of very long working hours and my brain is kind of fried. I definitely wanted something soothing and relaxing so I thought I’d give this a whirl again. I know some people don’t really like chamomile but I do think it’s nice. It’s always felt very soothing to me and I like the appleish sort of flavor. Lavender is a more difficult thing for me to get used to in tea. I love the aroma of it but since I use a lavender bath oil I always feel like I’m drinking bath oil or soap.

This seems to be a pleasant diversion right now and is hitting the spot. As you can imagine, most things from a company called “Traditional Medicinals” are more focused on health benefits than they are on flavor. I’m finding the lavender to be strong but nice. I did feel the need to add a bit of sugar to this. Don’t know if I will buy anymore but will finish off the few teabags I have remaining.

Hopefully I will be drifting off to lullaby land soon, good night Steepies. :)

I bought this on a recommendation, because normally I use Echinacea Elder or Echinacea Plus and I wan’t something specifically for sore throats, not colds/respiratory issues, but ugh. Just ugh. I don’t mind a little bit of licorice in herbal teas (Pukka’s a good example), but this just tastes disgustingly of licorice. Luckily I do know people who like licorice, so I can offer it to them if ever they need it, but right now it’s just sitting in my cupboard collecting dust.
