This is an organic herbal tea blend that comes in an unbleached tea bag – something that I haven’t seen a lot of but seems to be a good concept considering that if you already want organic tea, and if you’d be steeping your tea in hot water for long periods of time, you don’t want to have any chemical residues coming from the tea bag as well.

Its a mix of herbals such as hyssop, elderberry, nettle leaf, lemongrass, wild cherry bark, rosehips, lemon balm, astralagus root, cranberry leaf. I can definitely taste some lemongrass in it, and an overal herbaceousness, as I’m not as familiar with tisanes.

Its a pleasant tea to drink though, and can be drank unsweetened, which I did. The neat feature about the tea bags is that the tags have little motivational blurbs on them which is nice to read when you’re relaxing with a hot cup.

finding myself in hot water again and again…

I grew up in a tea drinking culture, but my parents were seriously hung up on jasmine tea and oolong tea, so I never really had much exposure to other teas. My horizons expanded when I moved to Japan and discovered genmaicha (roasted rice tea aka popcorn tea). after that, I discovered black teas, red teas, and flavoured teas, how different teas could be by the region, processing methods, water used.

Now I can’t get enough of it!

I experiment with different teas, blending them sometimes to see what the outcome would be. I find my tastes to be quite diverse, but run away from the more floral side of things. Tie Kwan Yin is probably the only one that most people seem to enjoy, that I don’t. Otherwise I am game for most teas. Fruity? love it. Smoky? Mmm. Earthy? bring it on! Light and vegetal? keep pouring!
