Thursday Tea Time - Winner, winner chicken dinner!


This week - Pukka Relax
Cost:  $7.99 at Whole Foods
Number of teabags:  20
Caffeine:   None
Type of tea:   Herbal
Steeping time:  5 minutes
Add ins:   Natural Bliss Sweet Cream/Half & Half, StoveTop Stuffing (kidding)
Tea fragrance:   Chicken!  Seriously.
Ingredients:   Chamomile flower (18%), licorice root, sweet fennel seed (12%), wild fennel (bitter fennel) seed (12%), oat flowering tops, cardamom pods, ginger roots, marshmallow root (10%)
Opinion:  If you like fennel, you will love this tea.  Between the sweet fennel seed and bitter fennel seed, it tastes oddly like chicken and poultry seasoning.  I was hoping for marshmallow!  The fennel absolutely overwhelms the other ingredients. If my vata needs balancing and if this is supposed to help relax - it didn't.
