Celestial Seasonings

Mildly flavored hot leaf water.

Better as a latte than straight, although the tea is so finely ground no teabag or steeper will prevent tiny particles from forming a layer at the top of the cup.

Try this with milk and you get a creamy cinnamon bun tea with cakey pastry notes. Yum!

I’ve been drinking this a lot lately because I keep forgetting to wash my steepers and I’m out of paper teabags.

This blend is nostalgic because I have a few relitives that used to serve tea when we went to their house for dinner/occasions. I like this by itself but even more with a splash of vanilla soy milk. It can be resteeped 2-3 times and doesn’t oversteep if you leave the teabag in. I like that it is flexible and fool-proof. It is also caffeine free, contains no hibiscus, and gets quite rich and desserty when you add milk, making for a great morning latte when you want something sweet and decadent.

This tea has low reviews, but I place it firmly within my nostalgic favourites. It is decent on its own, but steep it stronger and add milk and then you’ve got yourself the best gingerbread tea latte ever made.

I like the spice blend in this, I appreciate that it is caffeine-free, and I find it warming and sweet. Apparently this contains carob and chicory, but I don’t taste the cocoa or sickly sweet flavours often associated with them.

Great tasting smoky flavor, best taken without food.

Excellent for those who do not want to smoke, this has a lovely rick smoky flavor. Best drank alone without foods.

Mush nicer than I thought it would be. Big Vanilla taste.

Latergram from last night.
Standard CS Sleepytime minty-lemongrassy-chamomile with an extra, untastable kick of valerian root.

Feels like the directions called for a way longer steep time than their regular Sleepytime.

The valerian did give me unusually vivid and odd dreams, but nothing freaky and nightmarish like I got with melatonin.

I was somewhat groggy this morning, but I did manage to shut my brain off and get to sleep a lot faster. Placebo effect or valerian, who knows.
But for the same amount of tea and cost, why not add the extra help?

Really enjoy this blend. Nice punch of vanilla, mint-chamomile blend is neither too strong or weak. Another winner from Celestial Seasonings.
