(un)professional tea drinker

This is for a bit of fun, where I'm going to post about the teas I drink, and my thoughts on them.

If you've come here for professionalism, you are definitely in the wrong place.

Type: Chamomile + Loose Leaf

Brewing Time: 6 minutes.

Milk/Sugar/Honey: No.

My thoughts:

Just opening it made my hayfever screech...the whole thing is flowers. Unsurprisingly, it's a floral tea. It's also on the sweeter side. I'm not a lover. I could have brewed it for less time, but I wouldn't say it would have changed much. The flavour wasn't overpowering. The smell once I removed the tea leaves...was. The tea itself wasn't that strong scent-wise, but the smell from the tea leaves made me feel like I forgot to take my hayfever medicine.

However...when it comes to sleep teas, I judge them slightly differently. I'm not drinking them for the taste, but rather for a little help falling asleep. This one does that job just fine, actually. It's probably mostly placebo, but after I drank it, I did start to feel tired. And hey, even if it is placebo, if it does the job I want it to do, and it's not awful to drink, then it's fine.

Also, "Dozy Girl"? That wasn't a doze, I was out like a light. That was probably the best sleep I've had in a while.

Type: Rooibos + Loose Leaf

Brewing Time: 4 minutes

Milk/Sugar/Honey?: No

My thoughts:

Starts off slightly sweet, with a hint of apple, then transforms into a surprisingly refreshing cinnamon. Incredibly nice in the winter, and also incredibly nice as it's started to warm up. Cinnamon and apple isn't a summer flavour, though, so I'll probably avoid it when summer comes around.

Admittedly, I'm not a lover of teas on the sweeter side. Whilst I do drink sweet teas, they are few and far between. I wouldn't particularly call this a sweet tea, but it's definitely far sweeter than what I'm used to. I'm also not a lover of cinnamon. It doesn't ruin it by any means. Because of these factors, though, it's not one I could really drink more than once a day.
