A family member acquired a box of medicinal tea while on their travels in Sweden. They brought this back for me, because they know how much I love tea. This box (named Bad Heilbrunner) has been sitting towards the back of my cupboard for some time. I am beginning to come down with something, so I decided to bust it out. The entire box is in Swedish. There is not one english syllable on the whole thing. I am guessing, since its herbs, to brew high temp for a long time. As a side note, there is a warning paper included inside the box, which I found kinda amusing. I hope this stuff works.
The brew smells of an odd variety. I can note at hay, lemon, vine, honey, and some sort of menthol root. The flavor is incredibly herbaceous. It has strong grass flavor like Yerba Mate, but this is followed by a calming mouthfeel. I can feel a slight tingle travel across my body. The flavor reminds me of a zoo in the middle of summer. It has a desert flavor to it. I can note at dust, roots, earth, dried grass, and a slight hard fruit. Its a very exotic taste. I like it and figers are crossed this stuff beats the sickness out of me.

Young and experienced Tea consumer. I’m continuously learning and developing knowledge about tea. If I have learned anything at all from the world of tea it is that I do not know anything about the world of tea. I enjoy good tea, and I try to acquire the best of the best. I usually brew gongfu but I’ve been known from time to time to resort back to western brewing.

I have an Instagram (haveteawilltravel), and I am proud of my photographs. I use my pictures in my reviews,and I hope that they aid in portraying the beauty of tea and teaware.

Tea Rating System:
I rate my teas based on the category they fall into (Puer, Red, Oolong, Darjeeing, Flushes, Yancha… etc.)
This means that I will rate a Oolong based on how it stands up as a quality Oolong. I try not to compare teas, rather I work to evaluate them on their craftsmanship, harvest, processing, and qi.

I am most strict with Shou and Sheng Puerh, only because of the vast expanse of various experiences, such as; region, vintage, production, processing, etc.
