Ost’s stash sale.

I’m a fan of camomile tea, and I’ve been trying different varieties to find one I really like. For whatever reason, so far I prefer bagged camomile to loose. The loose tends to taste slightly more herbaceous and less floral than the bagged. Also the tiny petals are a pain to clean out of a strainer. This one is no exception, but it had a better than some of the others I’ve had. Not my favorite, but definitely enjoyable.

Flavors: Floral, Herbaceous

Preparation
Boiling 8 min or more 1 tsp 8 OZ / 236 ML

to be honest; chamomile tastes like freaky flowers :(

you want to try a nice tea that’s herbal? try kunlun mountain snow chrysanthemum flower tea from yunnan sourcing’s com site

Totally hear you on bagged vs loose chamomile. I really enjoy Celestial Seasonings’ Honey Vanilla Chamomile personally :)

I really like floral teas, so that’s not a problem for me. I do want to try snow chrysanthemum, it’s definitely on my list.

For some reason I don’t tend to like chamomile flavored or many chamomile-based blends. Honey Vanilla Chamomile was too sweet for me. One of the few I have enjoyed is Stash’s Cinnamon Apple Chamomile.

Allergies and Sensitivities: lavender and stevia upset my stomach

I have participated in the Overboard TTB, the Butiki Herbal Blending Box, the Butiki Educational TTB, and the Puerh Beginners Box. I ran the Herbal TTB and the Monthly TTB Club, and am currently running the Herbal and Decaf TTB.

Ratings: I rate teas based not on their objective quality, but on how much I personally liked them. I mostly do this because it’s an easy way to tell at a glance if I’ve tried a tea before and if I’d be interested in buying it. It sometimes takes a while to sort through and find out whether or not I’ve reviewed a tea without rating it.
90-100: Truly excellent tea, will buy again, could drink it every day but might save it for special occasions because it’s just that good, will miss it if it’s not in my cupboard.
75-89: Really good tea, would buy. Might be a solid everyday tea, or something that has a strong appeal but doesn’t quite amaze.
66-74: Good tea, would buy, but will also look for better
50-66: Probably wouldn’t buy this tea, but would drink it if offered
33-49: I will never buy this tea, and would probably even turn it down if it was offered to me.
1-32: I hope to never drink this tea again

I currently have a young baby, so while I’m drinking lots of tea, my activity may be sporadic.
