Taster’s Review:
OK, I admit it. Herbal blends scare me. Just a little bit. They do!
That’s because even with the finest ingredients, herbal tisanes can go wrong. They can taste medicine-y. Or they can just have some funky off-putting taste. So, needless to say, I was scared to try this blend from Byron Bay Tea Company.
But, this tastes really terrific! If this is a skin regime, count me in! I would be happy to drink this on a daily basis.
This doesn’t taste medicine-y or otherwise off-putting. The peppermint is strong, but not overpowering… and interestingly enough, this tisane doesn’t come off as “minty” exactly, although it does have a crisp and clean mint aftertaste.
I am also enjoying the way the ginger and lemongrass work together in this blend. The ginger offers just a hint of peppery flavor, while the sweet citrus-y tones of the lemongrass cancel out some of the spicier notes of the ginger. There is also a nice peppery accent in the finish that I find rather enjoyable.
But, I think my favorite part of this blend is the very subtle taste of rose. It is a nice touch. It is so soft and sweet. Very nice, indeed.
None of the flavors here are overwhelming… instead, they are very harmonious with one another. It has a pleasant, well-rounded taste. It is a very soothing, relaxing cup – especially nice at the end of the day!

Tasters Review:
I held off on trying this only because I wanted to save it for a day when and where it was really needed. A day where my stomach was grumbling and growling. Last week…I had one of those days! So – I figured it was time to put this tisane to the test!
The fennel is oh-so-slight and not over powering! Which is perfect because many teas with fennel in them that I have tried the fennel has been too forward. This fennel nicely done in this tea/tisane! The chamomile is also nicely done…I’m not overly fond of Chamomile usually…but this is just the right amount for me! And the Mint is great! This made my stomach stop growling and it was a pleasant surprise! I ended up enjoying this tisane quite a bit and I usually don’t get overly excited about herbals – but this was a goodie!

Tasters Review:
I’ve said it before and I will say it again…YOU DON’T KNOW UNLESS YOU TRY. The reason I say that is generally speaking I am not a fan of most Herbals…unless they are minty.
When I tried this CALMING TEA from Byron Bay Tea Company I had several things running thru my mind…
1. WOW! I’m drinking a tea/tisane that traveled all the way from Australia! COOL!
2. The Labels are simple yet colorful and eye catching and I like that! The colors are vibrant and beautiful!
3. They have excellent customer service – I corresponded with them via email – and it was excellent!
4. This is surprisingly incredible! I was afraid it was going to be herbally and/or boring but it’s a delight!
5. It sort of smells like Adagio’s Foxtrot with a little lime and sweet flower and less chamomile. Well, to the eye, there is a lot of chamomile, but when you taste it – it’s just enough and everything else works well with it! The Cinnamon is barely there…but I think that is perfect- I think any more cinnamon and it would ruin what’s going on with the tisane!
6. This is a tisane I would have again. I am so glad I was able to try it!
7. CALMING by Byron Bay Tea Company just maybe my favorite non-minty herbal to date.
