Mmmm…calming indeed! This is delicious, it tastes sooooo good, not to mention it really does loosen your senses and relax your mind.
I took a nap after a few sips. I was SO stressed from finals/studying/and so forth I couldn’t get to sleep for the life of me until I made this. Thank you VERY much. VERY relaxing!
Incredible. Just enough spice for the flavor, without making your senses go off the wall.
The best Tea I have ever tasted… mmmmmhhh…. so relaxing…
