Sweet 16th day of Sara’s Old Tea!
This one smells like chamomile. It tastes… medicinal. Oh nice, there’s some licorice. It’s not bad, but… the taste is kind of overwhelming, and it lingers on my tongue. I wonder if it’ll knock me out, with all the chamomile and valerian root. I’m sure it tastes better than a poisoned apple! Actually the taste is growing on me, bumped up the rating a little.

It’s mostly fennel, which does indeed taste like licorice, and does a pretty good job of covering up any valerian root taste (that stuff tastes nasty). But valerian root is the one thing that works really well on me for sleep, so a sleep tea that tastes like licorice was ideal for me. Sadly the company (and this blend) are long gone now.
I’m sad they’re gone.
Oh, now it’s kicking in. That took a while!
Huh, I must be very sensitive to valerian root, it usually hits me before I’ve finished my cup.
