The life of an elementary school teacher comes with A LOT of stress. I’m always in the market for a tea to help me erase the stress of the day and help me relax once I get home.
Unfortunately, a good herbal blend with just the right mix of jasmine and chamomile is hard to find. Biron Herbal Teas knocked it out of the park with their WorryFree Blend. Just opening the sample pack I received was enough to melt the worry away.
The most prominent aroma was the jasmine with the perfect mix of chamomile. It reminded me of college when I used to grow and dry my own lavender in my dorm room. Looking in the sachet you can see the full dry jasmine and chamomile flowers. You can tell that Biron spent a lot of time looking for the perfect ingredients for this tea. By the time the cup was finished I was fully relaxed and ready for a peaceful nights sleep.
If you, like me, need help relaxing after a crazy day and you LOVE Lavender this is a great blend to try! I’ll be stocking up on this one myself! Time to take a trip to Macon!

This tisane is going to be a bit difficult for me to describe because there are things in this blend that I have never tasted on their own. What I have tasted on its own is chamomile, and I find that this is the predominant flavor here. I do pick up on the spearmint but it isn’t terribly strong. I like the inclusion of spearmint because I find mint tisanes to be very relaxing and I prefer spearmint to peppermint.
I do not recall having skullcap or passionflower before, though I know several people who use passionflower supplements to combat anxiety or to improve sleep with success. An article on skullcap says that it is in the mint family but has a slightly bitter taste. I do taste something unfamiliar in this, but I do not find this hard to drink or bitter.
I went to bed after drinking it and slept well, but since I generally do rest well I can not say for certain that the tisane had an effect. I will say that if I were having trouble sleeping or felt anxious and this worked, it would not be a chore to drink it for relief. As something to drink for pure enjoyment, it isn’t something I would reach for first. It tastes much like many chamomile blends I have tried, so if you like chamomile and need soothing or some help going to sleep, I think this is worth a try.
