tasTEA Time! Heath and Heather Night Time Tea

Sorry about the crushed box.  

What:  A tea that (naturally) helps you fall asleep

Where:  England/Britain

Why Should I Care:  We all adjust our diets in order to achieve certain moods.  We drink coffee to get energy, we eat meat to feel full, and we drink things like chamomile tea to relax us.  The thing is, I don't like chamomile.  I'm not completely against it but it's just...eah!  This tea is a nice blend of herbs so if you're not crazy about chamomile but stupid over spearmint, you can also rest easy.  Heath and Heather is a strictly herbal brand that specializes in making tea that promotes wellness and gives you the mood/energy you want.

Packaging:  I got the 50c which was tucked away in a foil bag within the big cardboard box.  The sachets are in paired disks within the foil bag.  It's honestly pretty meh.  The herbs pictured on the front are nice, though.

Non-taste Senses:  Chamomile is yellow in color so it's not surprising that this tea is a lovely golden color that's halfway between green tea and ceylon tea.  Also there is much rejoicing that it smells like spearmint.  Oh, there's some chamomile in there too but spearmint completely dominates.

Taste:  This is pretty much a light mint tea.  I tasted the chamomile in there but that was more of an afterthought than an initial taste.  The thing is, I don't think most people would use this as an iced tea or something meant as a delicious experience.  This particular animal of herbal tea is meant to relax your body and mind to the point of you being able to fall asleep better.  Does it work?  Yeah, I feel relaxed.  It's kind of an added bonus that it really tastes pretty good, especially compared to a couple of the other herbal teas that do the same thing.  It's fine with sugar so it's really all up to your preference.

Overall:  It's honestly a little tough grading this.  It does its job if we're talking about helping relax someone and if you like mint, then the taste is fine.  On the other hand, this isn't something you can sit down and drink with dinner.  I think it's all up to preference and if you're a normal human being that isn't overly sensitive or unhindered by herbs, try it out if you need to sleep.

My Rating:  Try it (or if you need something to help you relax, Buy it)!  I really want to try some of their other flavors (Nettle or Lavender).
