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
