A little more zing
Feeling a little sluggish? According to Ayurvedic medicine, you probably have an excess of Kapha. So try this invigorating blend of organic ginger, saffron, black pepper, licorice, clove, cardamom, fennel, organic cinnamon, safflowers, peppermint and organic holy basil. It’s the perfect cure for when you’re feeling slow or heavy, or even when the weather just seems too cold and wet.

Tasty little feel-good tea. On my never-ending quest for a good headache tea, this one isn’t as powerful as the North African Mint but it would be great when I can’t wake up in the morning. First taste you get the spices, especially the clove and a touch of the cinnamon and peppermint. The aftertaste is light and sweet, the licorice coming out. Definitely doesn’t need sugar or any additions.
I’m expecting not to like this one because apparently it has “pepper” flavour. We shall see. (Odds are low anyhow, since it’s an herbal blend with 989725353 zillion ingredients, all of which I hate. Haha.) Also, thanks to Janelle for letting me sample all these weird herbals I’d never buy otherwise!
Brewed up, the aroma is… minty? With a bit of weird, and maybe some cinnamon. (IDK what “weird” is. Herbally-weird-ingredient.) It actually reminds me a little of… uh…. that green from Verdant with all the coriander, that tastes like gingerbread… ah! Laoshan Apothecary Green. I had to look it up. And the flavour? Actually surprisingly, not bad. I can taste the fennel, both on the sip and as a lingering sweetness in the aftertaste, but it’s not so potent as to make me gaggy. And the rest really does remind me of that Verdant blend. I mean, I would never buy this over that one (especially since there is the possibility that this blend has lost some flavour, making it more palatable for me), but it’s surprisingly drinkable. Better than All The Raj, that’s for sure. I can feel a bit of heat in the background, now that I’ve had a few sips – seems like it’s something that builds. I can handle that; there’s no overt roasted pepper flavour, which I so detest.
Overall, shockingly not a hater of this tea. The fennel is actually at a great level here to provide throat-soothing, and the rest of the tea is reasonably pleasant.
When I read the ingredients I imagines something Chai like. What I got was a brew and smell that was almost exactly the same as what my herbalist used to brew for me. And while it does perk you up, I don’t think I will be drinking it straight again. May brew some in with some rice for a nice curry one day.
