Actually needed this for a morning medicinal — woke up jittery and tense and need something to stanch the flow of adrenaline. This was handy and helped; if nothing else, having a hot cup of anything steamy and smell-goody in my hand helps me relax. I’d give it the flavor equivalent of Celestial Seasonings’ Tension tamer.
This tea has a nice buttery, syrupy quality to it, which gives it the comforting vibe that it purports to have. To me, the mint is fairly subtle—more of a gentle aftertaste—secondary to what I think is the flavor of chamomile. The flavor is definitely not in-your-face (contrast: Celestial Seasonings Tension Tamer—which, by the way, I love!)
Incidentally, I’ve yawned about twelve times while drinking the tea since beginning to write this review, so maybe it really does work…?

An impulse buy while grocery shopping at Target.
I thought it was fine, if you wanted and expected a mint tea. Apparently this is not what Bobbie or MilitiaJim wanted or like. Oh well, anyone want some?

With the list of the ingredients on the box I thought this blend should taste interesting, but I just tastes like spearmint :/ I didn’t expect it to work, but I did start feeling sleepy :P It’s not awful, but I won’t be buying it again.
I drink this tea before bedtime when I’m wired. It calms me and helps me to sleep. It’s a soft, relaxing blend of Chamomile. The Spearmint is not overpowering like I had worried it might be.
The ingredients listed are Spearmint Leaves, Chamomile Flowers, Peppermint Leaves, Orange Peel, Lemon Grass, Spice, Chicory Root. I would say that along with the Chamomile and Mint flavors, the Chicory Root, stands out a bit, giving the tea a hint of earthiness.
Thank you for the likes, even when my product descriptions are tanking. You’re such an affirming bunch … I needed that this morning!
anyone waking up stressed needs some hearts hugs
Awww, AmazonV, that’s a lovely way to think of ‘em ’hearts hugs’!!! gmathis – hope your day went better after the tea & steepster (I’m seeing your tea note 10 hours later)!
Hanging out with my fifth graders at church helped … ten-year-olds are very funny, unique, and borderline profound people! I’ve been sneaking in some “Minute to Win It” games … all with a very intentional teaching purpose, of course … but a hoot to watch them attempt!
