I'm going to assume Anti-Strain is supposed to be the Canadian Tension Tea. I don't really drink normal tension tea, but figured I'd try a bag. Plus, I've had too much caffeine already and don't want to be up forever.
Outsides: This tea contains cinnamon, licorice, ginger, fennel, orange peel and cardamon and i have to say, it smells amazing, like a sweet and spicy chai tea. I put a teaspoon and a half in 8 oz of boiling water and let it sit for 5 minutes. The tea is the normal yellow herbal color (It's funny how many herbal teas get that color) and still smells amazing. This also apparently supports the Dosha "vata" in accordance to Ayuvedic teachings, which I know very little about.
Insides: Well, this smells great and it might possibly taste great except for the smack in your face of weird sweetness that is the licorice. Is there supposed to be that much licorice in accordance to Ayuvedic principals, because the aftertaste is riddiculous. Putting aside the licorice, which is pretty near impossible, the herbs used are the spicy sweet kind and the tea has a nice brightness to it. But you better like licorice.
Overall: Works great as an air freshener, not as a drink.
My Rating: Pass.
Zen Tea is a Canadian tea retailer that specializes in mid to high quality tea.
