Traditional Medicinals Organic Ginger Herbal Leaf Tea, 16 Tea Bags (Pack of 6)

Traditional Medicinals Organic Ginger Herbal Leaf Tea, 16 Tea Bags (Pack of 6)

This product was first purchased and sent to my brother in CA who has about 50% of kidneys function with high bilibrium and creatinine that was very high proping his DR to recomend dialysis but a miracle happened when he decided to drink this TEA and his last LAB result came down from 17 to 3.7 and the DIALYSIS was canceled. PRAISE the LORD.

Lowered my husbands blood pressure 30 points ! We are very pleased , I even gave some to my dad because he wants to go off his blood pressure meds . Would recommend this tea for this purpose .

OMG...Roasted Dandelion Root helped me to loose 40 pounds over 18 months. I drank this 4 times daily. I still have it at least 2 times a day. I totally recommend this product.

I'm using to lower blood pressure.. Two weeks into this not much difference but will keep using as reviews for that were good. Good price, tastes great. If it works to lower BP will repurchase. Update: after one month of 20 oz. per day no change in BP at all.

Thank goodness for this product - love both the company and the product. This is a key part of my antifungal regimen to keep Candida Albicans knocked down to a more balanced level in the gut. Taste is just so so, don't love it or hate it, but it's pleasant enough to where it's my few cups a day regular tea for now (I reuse the bag for day so it's not crazy strong or anything). I noticed my belly literally shrink down two inches once I started back on this tea (and did a few other minor diet tweaks).

Description

Traditional Medicinals Organic Ginger Herbal Leaf Tea, 16 Tea Bags (Pack of 6).



I started drinking this when I was 34 weeks pregnant with my fifth pregnancy. I am not at all a tea person and was a little gaggy drinking it initially but after the first few days that went away.

I truly believe this helped significantly, I did not have a bunch of Braxton Hicks's like with previous pregnancies. Once I was in active labor and went to the hospital I was already dilated to 7/8cm when I would typically be at 4 or 5. After my midwife broke my water, I had my baby within 20 min, she came out faster than what they were expecting, I had to fling the blankets off myself. My contractions were much more efficient, very happy overall with my experience. I typically have to walk for 4 hours at the hospital after my water is broke and bypassed all that this time. I would definitely recommend to any expecting mother.

This is for DANDELION ROOT TEA. Please Amazon--stop lumping all tea reviews in together!!
Anyways-- This is a tea I keep repurchasing over and over. GREAT diuretic, gentle and super natural. Tastes very strong and nutty. Perfect for coffee or black tea lovers. Help my puffy fingers, helps pos weight gain, helps you poop--sorry tmi--contains tons of minerals (so I've read online) and it's one of my FAV herbs of all time. In my top five fav teas.
This company is also very trustworthy. I love traditional medicinals.

I like this tea. I drink nettle tea for inflammation. I believe that it is helping me and takes the edge off the pain that I have in my joints. It has a very mild flavor. I'm able to drink it without sugar or any sweetener. I recommend it. I would buy it again. In fact I bought a six box pack on my last order.

I buy this in the six-pack because I go through it.

Honestly, I don't especially love the taste, but you do get used to it. Like many of the other reviewers here, I drink this because I have (had, thanks to this tea!!) gross hormonal acne that popped up along my jawline and the sides of my chin. (Unlike many reviewers, I'm female but I don't have PCOS, just terrible skin.) I had read somewhere that people take spironolactone for this type of acne, and had resigned myself to waiting until my insurance plan year was up so that I could go see a dermatologist, then I read on SkincareAddiction that people sometimes use spearmint for the same! Apparently it binds off with the excess androgen. For this reason, I wholeheartedly recommend this to women but I'm not sure what would happen to men if they took it, since androgen is a male hormone....

I found this product first in a local natural foods store and dove in, starting with two cups a day and tracking the number of blemishes in that area. (I am neurotic.) The first day, I had 27 blemishes. The tenth day, I had five. By then end of the first month, I had no blemishes along my jawline--at that point, as much for expense as for anything else, I scaled down to one cup a day and found that was effective for maintaining my new clear skin. I've been at this for about six months now, I'm finally eligible to go to the dermatologist and I won't bother now. Incidentally, I didn't find that it had much effect on the rest of my face--other than this hormonal stuff, I break out when I deserve to (falling asleep with makeup on, a weekend of crappy eating) and the spearmint didn't effect that either positively or negatively.

I buy this in the six-pack online because it's quite difficult to find in stores! The first box that I bought was the only such box in that health food store, and I had to supplement with Bigelow's Mint Medley, which was a mix of different mints, and as far as I can tell only the spearmint has this effect. I saw faster improvements when I was drinking the pure spearmint.

Best tea ever! I have an autoimmune disease called Sjorgrens syndrome and it helps with inflammation as it contains Nettle leaf as well. The combination of the Burdock + Nettle leaf helps to cleanse the heavy metals from your blood stream, natural diuretic, boost the immune system plus a slew of other healthy benefits. It’s a winner, promise! I use to purchase other teas who claimed to be organic but really not. Traditional Medicinals is a brand that I’ve come to trust and over the past couple of years and now I only purchase their teas.
P.S. Their dandelion tea is pretty awesome as well. It definitely helps with bloating and tames the tummy.

Choice Organic Teas Herbal Tea, 16 Tea Bags, Chamomile, Caffeine

Choice Organic Teas Herbal Tea, 16 Tea Bags, Chamomile, Caffeine Free

Choice Organic Teas Herbal Tea, 16 Tea Bags, Chamomile, Caffeine Free

This has become my favorite tea. As a tea lover who has had to give up caffeine and doesn't like chamomile, I've found it hard to find my go-to tea. But this is it. Just the right amount of spicy to be flavorful without making me feel as though I'm drinking too-cinnamon-y holiday tea. It even brews darker than most herbal teas, with more body and richness. Generally, I love Choice teas, and I'm hoping they release a few more tasty caffeine-free options. (Their lemon lavender mint is also good.)

My husband and I have started to drink tea instead of coffee, and we are liking the change. We have English Breakfast in the morning and Choice Camomile tea in the afternoon and evening. We have Choice Camomile herbal tea because it is caffeine fee and helps us to unwind and relax at the end of the day.

Camomile tea has many benefits, it is an extraordinary herb that has been used for many years for its soothing, calming, and comforting effects. It helps with stomach issues, insomnia, dandruff, migraines, and on and on.

We appreciate that this tea is Organic, Fair Trade Certified, Non-GMO, Kosher, and made in the US. The Choice brand has been in business for almost 30 years - We highly recommend them!

Very nice tea bag tea. I love tea, but hate tea bags -- I much prefer steeping leaves for green tea and making black tea in a samovar (stovetop for everyday and a charcoal-burning one for a special treat). However, the convenience of a tea bag, especially when traveling, cannot be overlooked. I have not found another brand that I consistently like, beside Choice, in quality and in flavor. Taste preference, I prefer the Jasmine Green, Green Moroccan Mint, White Peony, Twig Kukicha, Genmaicha, and the Chai. I'm OK with, but not super crazy about the Russian Caravan, Japanese Premium, Chamomile, or the Bancha Hojicha

Hard to find Rooibos chai near me, so I was pleased to find this at a nice price as an Add-On purchase. Good, even blend of chai, with just a hint of rooibus underneath, chai flavor is good and STRONG (I hate weak chai) and the aroma is strong enough to enjoy while it seeps as well. I have not tried it with any milks or sweeteners because it is strong and delicious enough on its own! I will certainly buy another box of this when I finish my first one.

I love this tea any time of day, but especially at night. The lavender is soft and soothing, not harsh or perfume-y. The mint and lemon are not overpowering. It's really well balanced between the three flavors. Sometimes I make a gallon of iced tea and add the juice of one lemon and a little monk fruit sweetener. Delightful.

Description

Treat yourself to a cup of peace and quiet. Treasured through the ages for its soothing effects, this flower holds an honored place in herbal remedy folklore. Our select Egyptian chamomile has a round, deep body and lingering sweetness with an elegant, floral flavor. It's free of caffeine to create an oasis of calm. (Caffeine Free)



Very Divine! Oh My God!!! It's like drinking freshly brewed chamomille flowers! Totally Heavenly. The closest thing to the sweet smooth taste of the actual flowers without the hassle of the bits floating around!!! The tea bags have a great string that does not fall off. If you like chamomille tea, look no further, this is superb.

This stuff is so good for the price! It tastes like I should be buying it at a specialty store for like 15 dollars a box. I got this particular flavor because I wanted to try something caffeine free with lavender in it to help me relax after a graveyard shift, as chamomile is...not for me. This does the job, and, as I mentioned, tastes amazing and smells soooo good.

I use this to make cold brewed iced tea. Very light and refreshing, subtle flavors. Since I don't brew it I may not be getting full benefit from it but I like it and its a good caffeine free alternative to the iced tea I usually make.

I have only been a fan of Earl Grey tea with lemon prior to this, and was looking for something without caffeine as I am very sensitive to it. This tea is a big winner for me! Tastes so good, perfect for cozy evenings. Will purchase again. Too bad it’s an add-on item only though.

This is the second time I've ordered this tea as an economical replacement for the discontinued Trader Joe's Ruby Red Chai. This is a good tasting decaf chai for the evening or any time. I agree with the person who said that the tea bags themselves aren't as strong as other brands, but that's a minor nuisance.

Numi Organic Tea Rooibos Chai, 18 Count Box of Tea Bags, Herbal Teasan, Caffeine-Free (Packaging May

Numi Organic Tea Rooibos Chai, 18 Count Box of Tea Bags, Herbal Teasan, Caffeine-Free (Packaging May Vary)

Numi Organic Tea Rooibos Chai, 18 Count Box of Tea Bags, Herbal Teasan, Caffeine-Free (Packaging May Vary)

I am really enjoying this tea, which I have purchased from Amazon many times now. I can see why it is called "honeybush," as the taste and aroma truly do resemble honey. It has a mellow, natural sweetness to it that really does not need sweetening, and a very mild, easy taste that reminds me of chamomile tea, in that it has a soft, understated character with no bitter note or aftertaste, and a bit of a woodsy note. I have never added milk to this tea, but I may try it and see what it does. I love it straight, and have even enjoyed the random mug I have accidentally allowed to cool down too much. I have been able to have it either in the early morning, midday, with meals, between meals, on an empty stomach, or very late at night--all with no issues. The taste is honey-like and light, with the tiniest hint of mesquite when freshly poured. If it sits for a considerable amount of time, it develops an additional note that reminds me of fig leaves. This is a completely caffeine free tea that is even given to tiny children and to people taking meds, as it does not interact adversely with anything or have any known adverse effects to the health. I have heard it is great for the skin, and perhaps it is all true, from what I have noticed. I would call this a nourishing tea. If it has any calming effects, they are probably all cerebral, and it may just be due to how pleasant and easy it is to drink, and how relaxing pleasant things usually are. If you are looking for a mellow and pleasant cup of tea that is smooth and easy without being harsh on the stomach or nerves or, alternately, putting you to sleep, I recommend giving this honeybush tea a try.

Absolutely love this tea! Have had other brands of honeybush but they're not as flavorful as Numi. Getting a box of 100 seemed a little overwhelming at first & I almost bought the set of 3 boxes of 18 for the same $. Boy! I'm so glad I didn't! I'm so happy with the quality and freshness of the tea I received; normally I purchase loose tea. However, it has been convenient to use bags w/this type of tea; I use them for hot tea, ice tea and to mix with other teas! I happen to love the taste of honeybush, however the one negative is the way it's harvested from the bushes creates tiny pieces, this can be difficult w/ loose tea as it floats through the infuser regardless of how small the holes are; with a tea bag you don't have that problem.

Numi produces quality products for a very reasonable price; especially when purchasing the 1 lb loose tea bag in some of their blends. in the others; this 100 tea bag ct is an awesome deal!! You simply can't go wrong!

OMG, this tea tastes SO good! I did some research on honeybush tea. Apparently it's a cousin of the rooibos bush/plant and grows in the same region of South Africa. However, I tried rooibos tea a few years ago and didn't like it at all. Then again, I didn't like Earl Grey back then, but I like it a lot now. (Not as much as I LOVE Twinings' Lady Grey, though.)

I've been trying to place that flavor, though. It's a little bit sweet but I don't let that stop me from putting cream and sugar in it. I just use less sugar in it. For me, the flavor is reminiscent of sassafras tea. I'm old enough to remember drinking sassafras, which itself always tasted like root beer with no fizz. Anyway, I'm a big fan of this tea now. I first tried it a few weeks ago from the Numi Collection sampler. I think I'm about 70% teatotaler now!

This is one of my all-time favorite teas. I can't drink much caffeine any more. Black chai used to be my ultimate favorite so when I had to cut it out of my diet completely for over a year I first discovered rooibos tea as having the closest warm earthiness any herbal tea had compared to black tea. Then there's the question of the chai spices. Numi's blend is by far the best of any pre-made herbal chai blend I've tasted. This tea is an absolute staple for me now. Love it!

Best moroccan mint tea I've ever got, outside of Morocco. Its awesome if you brew on a stove with 75% rice milk or coconut milk and only 25% or less water (so its thick & more creamy), then add some honey. :) My toddlers love this in the morning too.

The blend of rooibos, vanilla and chocolate give a rich, velvety, earthy flavour to this tea. I appreciate Numi is not going with the trendy nylon tea sachets. An inorganic material that I do not wish to heat up and drink! Same with GMO corn like other tea companies are using for tea bags. The ingredients in this Numi tea are organic and the cocoa is certified fair trade, this makes me feel good about purchasing Numi and their business practices all while getting great taste.

I’m a bit of a chai snob and this one is off the charts!! AND it’s organic!

I’ve spent time in India and tried every chai readily available in the US I would guess and none compare to the full bodied and yet clean experience of this chai. I ALWAYS have this chai in my cupboard. (and a back up somewhere!)

Edit: I intended this review for the Numi “Golden” Chai but the Rooibos Chai is my other favorite, plus all the benefits of Rooibos! (And this one I can’t find at my local health food store... only online).

I admit it. I don't like Rooibos. I hate it. I love a lot of different teas, especially herbal, but rooibos is strange for me. It's very very earthy, dirty tasting with a subtle taste of something I can't put my finger on. However, everyone else in my family loves this tea, especially the teenager. I have to keep a 2-quart pitcher of chai tea in my fridge all the time. I'm concerned about the caffeine he consumes, so I bought this, because rooibos is herbal and doesn't have caffeine. Since he loves this tea so much, I bought this case.

100 count for the price. You cannot beat it. It came quickly. I didn't count all the packets but I assume they are all there. They are in individual envelopes and just thrown into a box. I didn't care because I was planning to keep them in a plastic container anyway and store them in the cabinet. But if you think they are coming in boxes like you get at the store, they are not, so plan to put them somewhere. It's great tea and each tea bag is sealed so I didn't care.

I've had rooibos that had a bit more body and flavor, but the advantage of having a truly organic product that you can trust, from a company that stands behind their claims, gives you peace of mind, you won't find elsewhere!
The flavor is pretty good. Not hating the price, either! Just seems that whenever the price comes down for a few weeks, I'm always short on money! I'd buy a lot more, when the price is lower otherwise. Maybe three boxes of 100 instead of just one. That's how much I love this tea! I'm on meds that ask you to avoid caffeine, and rooibos tastes like a tea, not like an herb. Not exactly like a good black or green tea, but close enough. I've used rooibos for a long time, anyway, because I like the flavor. Good, organic, specialty black and green teas are WAY above my budget! This tea makes me feel like I'm drinking something special, without the "special" price!

THIS REVIEW IS FOR Numi Organic Lemon Camomile Tea.

So... I don't like coffee, and liked tea OCCASIONALLY. I admit I am EXTREMELY particular ( taking the time to commend my husband for hanging in there for 16 yrs.!!😘), and would only drink it with tea AND honey. Winter arrives, and on a fluke, I made a cup of this stuff will attending a business meeting and being surrounded by coffee drinkers. With hot water and some measly sugar packets, I indulged in pure Bliss. Delicious, aromatic, and soothingly perfect, I purchased one 100ct. box, and am writing this review after buying another. Don't miss out on a good thing.

True Lime Bulk Dispenser Pack, 100 Count

True Lime Bulk Dispenser Pack, 100 Count (2.82oz)

True Lime Bulk Dispenser Pack, 100 Count (2.82oz)

Was served this with my vodka/tonic on a plane. I thought, "this is a bad start to a vacation- not even real lime. What is this crappy powder sugar substitute." Then I tried it. The clouds parted, the angels sang, and sunbeams simultaneously came through the little window. Sometimes places have bad limes, or I don't trust the line bowl sitting behind the bar for who know how long and I carry this to use. It's just concentrated lime. It's amazing, and I am in love.

Like many others have said before me, this is a product that I simply cannot do without! It is literally something I use every single day. I have cut soda from my diet many, many years ago due to me being overweight. My drinks now include only hot/cold coffee and tea and water with True lime. When I first started my weight loss plan, I basically continued eating unhealthy food and not exercising. The one thing I changed was cutting out the sweet drinks and let me tell you, that ALONE has made all the difference! I lost a whole bunch of weight and after pairing that with a healthier diet along with minor exercises here and there, I'm proud to say that I am now right where I should be in terms of my weight!

I've tried True Lime, Grapefruit and Lemon and personally, I prefer lime over lemon in my water. Grapefruit is also another awesome flavor. Think of it as passion, orange and guava (POG) but without the sweetness! There really is nothing better to pair your water with these with these packets. They are extremely convenient and best of all, makes you actually want to drink more water! I use two packets of lime everyday to fill up my 64oz HydroFlask. The one thing I have noticed is that for both the lime and lemon packets, they can get clumpy. At first I thought it was because I wasn't storing them in a cool place but the grapefruit packets never seems to get affected. It's not a deal breaker but rather more an annoyance because I now have to tear open the entire packet to dump the clumped up crystals out. I also never had any issues with the crystals not dissolving. A couple of shakes in my growler and they disintegrate fairly quickly.

I've recently used these with sparkling water and they are even more enjoyable! For those that are scared about these slowly ruining your teeth enamel and whatnot, use a straw.

We love this instant lime!

BUT - Use caution when ordering the "TRUE" products!! - the ades like black cherry lemonade, etc - contain stevia.

I HATE all those sweeteners - horrible aftertaste in mouth. Read the product description - this one TRUE lime, TRUE lemon, TRUE orange, and TRUE grapefruit are just the fruits, NO additives. ALL the "-ades" have the stevia.

Really impressive flavor and oh so easy to use. If I didn't know these single serving packs were used instead of those real limes, I cannot recognize the difference! A new product for me and this will definitely be a favorite. The crystals dissolve in both warm and cold liquids . . . tried the warm first but it really wasn't necessary. Use in your favorite recipes and enjoy!

Thank you for taking the time to add your reviews!

For those that are having a hard time dissolving the crystals, I put a little bit of hot water in the bottom of my bottle and swirl until it's dissolved. The solubility of crystals (due to the terpene based lime oil, which has low to no solubility in water) requires a temperature slightly higher than what you would normally put in a bottle for drinking to get them dissolved.

Once they are dissolved, you can add in your cold water and swirl in some more to distribute the flavor.

BTW - This is amazing. This saves me from buying and cutting up limes to help me drink water.

Satisfaction Guarantee: As a small company that shares your big love for citrus, we offer a 100% guarantee of satisfaction with every purchase. Contact us at CustomerCare@TrueCitrus.com.



I love a hint of lime in beverages, especially in water and sparkling water. I have found that pre-squeezed lime juice can often have a funky taste, but True Lime tastes exactly like fresh squeezed lime juice when added to water. I have also used True lime in place of lime juice in recipes. I recently used it in guacamole and it added a pleasant, tart lime flavor.

An added benefit is that each packet gives 25% of the recommended daily intake for vitamin C. Finally, there are no weird chemical additives so I don't worry about consuming multiple packets every day.

Love this, for flavor and ease of use.

I need caffeine at times, and get it from cola drinks, but am not real fond of their flavor. Of the colas I have tried, I liked Diet Coke with lime in it the best, but they stopped making it in bottle form several years ago... so I keep a few of these packets in my purse, and add them to diet Coke or Pepsi, to make it better!

A little goes a long way - I could use one packet to lightly flavor 3-4 servings of a drink at a restaurant, or 2 bottled sodas (no ice)..

I like having lemons and limes on hand for meals, cocktails, and salad dressings. But sometimes they go bad before I can make it back to the store. TrueLime, and all the other flavors, have been surprisingly EXCELLENT as a replacement for the real fruit! I recommend it to everyone I know. It's one of those items that you'll keep stocked in the pantry once you try it.

I bought these because I knew I needed to drink more water but I really don't prefer drinking plain water, especially with meals. These are convenient to carry in my purse or pocket and taste great!! The taste is MUCH better than the liquid artificial concentrate you can buy and is like using fresh lime/lemon. Now I'm drinking more water and I have almost completely cut out soda!! The price on these boxes is much cheaper than I can get in my local grocery store! I like that the crystalized version is available without being a drink mix with artificial sweeteners, just my water and lemon/lime is PERFECT!

I can't live without this product. No telling how many of these I've purchased over the years both from Amazon and local grocery stores. I use them in drinking water mostly but have been known to throw them into recipes as well. Lime is the best. Lemon is also great. Not a huge fan of grapefruit, but I've gone though a few boxes of Orange as well. You wont be sorry.

Traditional Medicinals Organic Mother's Milk Women's Tea, 16 Tea Bags (Pack of

Traditional Medicinals Organic Mother's Milk Women's Tea, 16 Tea Bags (Pack of 6)

Traditional Medicinals Organic Mother's Milk Women's Tea, 16 Tea Bags (Pack of 6)

So my baby was in the nicu for a month, I was constantly pumping around the clock to give him milk. I had enough milk production. But once my baby came home he was use to drinking milk from the bottle and I guess stress tired restless and also being a mommy my milk production started to go down. I took this tea one day three times a day - two tea bags- I wanted to see if I got any results and may I say, I bought 6 box of them. Went from pumping one to two ounces to a little over five.

First impressions, my background, day 1, *day 2, & *future updates

First Impressions:
The packaging was as expected. When I first pulled out the tea bag I found the smell offensive so I was afraid to taste it. I was surprised that the taste was actually pleasant, it is not too strong so it is definitely tolerable for everyday drinking. The tags on the tea bags have quotes on them which are a nice positive interruption for a mom's hectic day.

My Background:
My son is 7 months old. He has been exclusively breastfed since birth but started baby led weaning (solids) at 6 months. He isn't getting much intake of solids at the moment. He still nurses on demand which is approximately 4 times each night and every 3 hours during the day. My supply has always been good but when pumping it usually took 3-4 sessions to get 5oz. I average 1.5-2oz in 10-20 minutes from pumping both breasts. I absolutely hate pumping so my hope for drinking the tea is to get 5oz in one pumping session. I plan to drink 3 cups a day.

Day 1:
I enjoyed all 3 cups of tea. With each new cup I added in my bag from the previous cup to get more use from them before throwing them away at the end of the day. I pumped for 10 minutes at my usual time after my son went to bed. From both breasts I yielded 3.5oz which is a 75% improvement!

*Day 2:
Same routine, 3 cups of the tea. I noticed my lips feel tingly, not sure if it is related to the tea. Also the smell still bothers me but not the taste. I pumped 10 minutes again and got another 3.5oz just like last time. I was hoping for a little more improvement but I will give it about a week before I add in a 4th cup.

**more updates to come

I drink this daily and add a little honey to help with the bitter taste. The more I drink, the more milk i produce. So I brewed a large pot and store it in the fridge for a quick cup of iced tea during the day!

I've had horrible, heavy periods with unbearable cramps my entire life. I started drinking this tea a week before my period and all during and for the first time that I can remember, did not have terrible cramps and headaches. Usually I need to take 1-2 days off from work during each cycle and I was able to save my sick days this time! This tea is a lifesaver. I still had a heavy flow but that's manageable; it's the cramps and exhaustion that stop me in my tracks and Healthy Cycle helped with those. The herbal taste is pleasant to me (tastes most like chamomile tea) and I don't need to add any sweeteners.

This stuff is amazing. I recently started birth control which cut my supply down drastically. (Nexplanon) I wasn't even pumping 2 oz. I started this and 3 pills of fenugreek. It's only been 4 days and I'm pumping 6 oz per side. This stuff truly works ! I drink 3 cups a day.

UPDATE: It's been a week now and I am up to 8 oz off of one breast a session. I must say going from 2 oz I was scared I was going to loose my milk but this stuff is a life saver !

Taste: sweet, spicy, slightly bitter with a distinct licorice-like taste. *The statements have not been evaluated by the food and drug administration.

This Really works well for me!!! Any time my supply decreases I drink a cup (either hot or iced) and my milk supply increases. I don't add sugar so the taste is not the best, but it isn't too bad! I use two tea bags in each glass so I make it a little strong. Breastfeeding going on 8 months now and have not had to supplement :) I have used this since about 2 weeks after my son was born. I use this usually a couple times per month, not all the time, just as needed!

I absolutely love this tea! This is the second child I have used it with and I highly recommend it. I've tested one week with no tea and one week drinking 3 a day and saw a drastic difference in my milk supply. Drinking this tea daily almost doubles the amount of milk I produce. Without the tea, I was pumping about 3-8 ounces per session, with the tea I can pump anywhere from 5-12 ounces per session (usually 1.5-2 hours in between pumping/breastfeeding). I have also noticed a smoother let down, steadier flow and decrease in clogged milk ducts.

This product definitely help with my milk production. I was very determined to Breastfeed my baby with no supplementing with formula this tea help me achieve that. I'm current producing over 60oz daily and I'm able to store halo off that for when I go back to work....

I have struggled with a low supply my entire bf’ing journey.. but this brought one pump from a 2.5 oz to a 7.. but only with staying very hydrated and pumping a lot (son stopped wanting to latch)

I would recommend putting honey in..

Taste is awful but you get used to it! Don’t give up!

Also, I put 2 teabags in once and drank it.. felt sick for hours! Stomach hurt etc.. I don’t recommend that, or atleast it effected me in a negative way.

Tastes like black licorice.. :-/

I was skeptical about a tea that helps produce milk but I needed to try it out. To my surprise....it really WORKS!
I used a small amount of some raw organic honey and the taste is actually good. I definitely recommend this tea to any breastfeeding mama.

P.S. it took 1-2 days to notice difference and I keep taking at least one cup a day for maintenance.

Yogi Tea - Ginger - Supports Healthy Digestion - 6 Pack, 96 Tea Bags

Yogi Tea - Ginger - Supports Healthy Digestion - 6 Pack, 96 Tea Bags Total

Yogi Tea - Ginger - Supports Healthy Digestion - 6 Pack, 96 Tea Bags Total

I discovered this in a health food store and it works so well that I've just stocked up on Amazon. I have severe IBS and lots of gas, despite taking three different probiotics and following a low-FODMAP diet. After one day using this product, the gas is gone. I drink it several times a day, using two teabags for each cup.

I am not a fan of the licorice flavor, but I must tell you this works so well at easing stomach issues. As recently as last week I used this and two cups later my stomach upset was gone. I've been using this for at least 5 years. It's worth it.

I have acid reflux, and bought this tea because it had ginger and mango. Ginger is fine for acid reflux sufferers (not acidic) and Mango is okay (not too acidic). The tea also has Rooibos, Cinnamon (maybe bad, not sure), Fennel, Licorice, and Cardamom. All of these should be fine for GERD based on my research.

There are many flavors of tea... and so I suggest the Ginger Mango if you have GERD, as you definitely don't want any mint or peppers in your tea.

So what does it taste like? It's very ginger forward. I barely taste the mango. It's somewhat spicy, but not overly so.

If you have acid reflux and are struggling with what you can drink other than water, I'd suggest giving this a try as a hot drink in place of the coffee you'd have to give up.

I get one strong cup out of each bag, and one weak cup on a refill, at which point I usually discard.

I don't know about it's "health benefits" that are claimed.

I love ginger tea, plus it doesn't have any caffeine in it. I use to drink coffee, but decided to give it up. I missed the warm drink in the morning with breakfast. After about a year, I decided to try decaffeinated coffee, but my nutritionist didn't think coffee was a good idea. She recommend I try ginger tea. It works for me.

Really enjoying this tea so far! Do note that is has a little caffeine.. (10mg) I didn't realize this before my purchase and I'm rather sensitive so I just have to remember not to take it in the evenings. Its great in the mornings though, I actually really like the cranberry, adds a little bite. The tea has a nice flavor, light but with a good full profile...doesn't just taste like watered down juice.

Yogi Stomach Ease tea: Outstanding! Great taste! Surprising sweet after taste released at back of mouth. I was skeptical about how much this really would help my digestive issues. Took it for the first time with an upset stomach and it performed better than any OTC meds I have used. Also it helped with gas and gas bloatness/pressure, its not all gone but has cut it down considerablely even after eating the more gaseous producing foods.

I like the taste of the cinnamon-berry-probiotic. It is not sweet or bitter. You may like it with a little sweetener, if you are usually a tea with sweeter type.
Btw the wrapper is listed/noted to be compostable, probably because it has a lining to enhance shelf life, it is not a purely paper wrapper. Overall pleased with the product.

Edit (2/10/2019): I tried the mango-ginger and really like it. It is subtle (the mango) fruity taste and the tea is not sweet, yet there is distinctive ginger in the taste. If brewed strong the ginger predominates.

I really enjoy the tea for daily use because I have a stomach that does not process food very well and this helps to settle my stomach.
I get migraines this helps with the nauseous that accompanies that.
Having a nice warm cup in my hand and something warm to drink seems to help to center me.
I have other issues with my digestive tract I will not go into but if anyone has troubles like that this help with the nauseous that goes with that. Overall I am well pleased with the tea.
The only reason I gave it four stars was since June the price risen six dollars for the six-pack.
I know this may not seem like a lot but when you go through a box in a week it adds up.
I also know a company needs to make money but it seems like a big jump in a short time.
Daniel

I've had stomach issues my entire life. I was introduced to Stomach Ease years ago and it does the trick. The taste is something that most will have to get used to but now I love it. I should probably drink a cup after every meal but I only drink when needed. Any kind of pain and this will take it away.

Great tea at a great price. The strongest ginger flavor of brands I've tried. I also like that it has a tag and string for pulling the teabag out (not all teas have this, so I thought it was worth mentioning).

Taylors of Harrogate Organic Peppermint Herbal Tea, 20

Taylors of Harrogate Organic Peppermint Herbal Tea, 20 Teabags

Taylors of Harrogate Organic Peppermint Herbal Tea, 20 Teabags

I am somewhat new to tea. I have been drinking Chamomile Tea for a little while now, but I just started getting into Green Tea because of all the benefits. I love the taste of tea. I'm not really a coffee drinker.

This box is at a very good cost to tea ratio. What I mean by that is, you get high quality tea for a good price. Most tea in this quality range will cost double this price I believe. Anyways, it has a great assortment for any occasion. The box feels well made, even though it's thin cardboard. They took their time making these teas and it really shows. Great little starter box to see which tea you like best. Right now, I like them all. Just tried Earl Grey Tea for the first time and I think it's a close first place for it. I really like it. Instructions are on back of each packet as well. Grab one box today and try them out!!

I'm easily influenced by television, lol. As a huge fan of The Mentalist, I noticed that Patrick Jane would often order lapsang souchon. As a tea drinker myself I was curious as to what kind of tea it was and I ordered a box. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised. This is definitely a hug in a mug. When I first received the package I just smelled it. It smells very earthy and very fragrant. The smokiness of the leaves is very apparent. Upon my first cup I fell in love with it. This is a tea drinker's tea. It's seductive and unique. The smoked leaves are not just in the smell. This is something sophisticated and complex, yet at the same time refreshing and comfortable. This isn't just tea; it's a little break from the stresses of the day. I'll certainly be buying more of this.

*in Oprah voice* I LOVE THIS TEA!

Taylors of Harrogate Green Tea with Jasmine has quickly become one of my favorite boxed teas. I received a box via Prime samples and have bought 3 boxes since then. I really love this stuff! The flavor feels light but tastes full. I'm not a fan of jasmine-flavored things but this tea has a sweet and light floral flavor I love. Also, I have a fondness for large mugs but only need 1 bag (at a 2min steep) for my 12oz mugs. Normally I need 2 so it's nice to save money. And speaking of which, this tea is SO AFFORDABLE! Right now it's less than $4 and Taylors' seem to always have a 20% off coupon on here. You can't beat that price especially for their quality! I digress. I'm so happy I found this tea and will continue to drink it unless they change it somehow.

This makes fantastic iced tea as well. I've been trying to find an iced tea that comes out clear without much hassle. Lipton, Luzianne, Tetley - all these teas are a bit finicky when trying to brew just right. On occasion if you overbrew you get a cloudy, mucky mess of a tea. And I like my iced tea to be clear as highly polished amber. This one is so hard to mess up. I use four bags in a pyrex measuring cup. I can walk away from it while it's steeping. Somewhere after 6 minutes or so I check on it. Then I pour it over ice. I've tried to take pictures of how it looks, but it's frosting the pitcher so it's hard to tell how nice it looks. I know people might be like, who cares how it looks? But often cloudy tea has a horrible taste to it. Very bitter.

This also tastes great. It has a nice sharp flavor to it without being too much. I found I had to get used to it, the first couple of glasses I was expecting the more mellow taste of more basic iced teas. Once I did get used to the change, I will not go back. This is my new iced tea!

The packaging design is lovely, simple, and functional. The bags are individually wrapped in packets larger than the average tea bag packet (didn't fit in my tea box. But the box it came in worked great) which have helpful descriptions of the flavor, preparation, and recomended additions for the tea within. I've tried every flavor except Earl Grey (I typically don't enjoy Earl Grey) and really liked all but the green tea jasmine. However, I don't like green tea or jasmine, so that is no fault of the manufacturer. If you like jasmine, the fragrance of that tea is spot on!
The most delightful discovery with this tea assortment was the citrus tea. I happened to be drinking it with a couple Nilla wafers and found that a tea-dipped Nilla wafer tasted like an upscale Fruit Loop 😁
I would absolutely recommend this for individual use or for entertaining. It's a great resource for offering an assortment of teas to a guest without overwhelming selection or bulky storage. Good buy.

Description

Fresh, clean flavor, makes a soothing infusion of peppermint leaves



This arrived as a larger box than I expected for 20 tea bags, but it's a thick, elegant package with a fun design inside that made it quite fun to open. The tea bags are individually wrapped inside, clearly labeled with type and brand, in a sealed bag that ensures freshness for a long time. If I don't drink it all first.

I tend to use stronger tea bags through the day, adding more boiling water to keep sipping until either the day's done or the flavor's gone. (I know, I know, this is criminal and not a proper cuppa. I just can't stand to throw out a tea bag until all the flavor's drawn out of it.) The second cup today was as strong and flavorful as the first, with neither of them having the bitterness that some strong teas have. My ideal is sugar and milk, but cutting calories means I drank it straight today - the taste was lovely, bold, and didn't have a rough aftertaste.

I just enjoyed my first cup of this tea, and I'm pleasantly surprised. At first glance, the tea looked cheap. The plastic covering sealing the box had copious amounts of tea dust between it and the box. The tea bags are the cheapest out there and the tea itself is pretty finely cut. I've had earl grey from metal tins and pretty tea bags that tasted sub parr, so I expected the worst. I put one bag into my thermos of hot water and left it in there, till I drank the last drop. Happily, the tea never became bitter during consumption and it has a pleasant, more lemon flavor than bergamot. I use loose leaf tea at home, but this is now my new favorite "work" tea.

Delicious, light tea! Love the box so much; it could honestly be a simple gift for a tea-lover. Great little pouches for the bags and the flavor is quite nice and a bit fragrant, perfect with a bit of honey. My only issue is the way the strings are "embedded" in the teabags, requiring you to pull them out to be able to steep. My first one, I accidentally tore the whole top of the bag off lol. I had to retie the bag so it would steep without the leaves leaking, but it worked out. The second time, I think I pulled from the wrong end, so the part with the tag was still close to the bag. Rather than steep the tag as well, I just (carefully!) pulled the whole string out. Everything about the packaging of the teas is gorgeous, but I'm still not sure how to pull out the string without mangling the bag haha

Three years ago when the coffeemaker belched its last, I decided to reclaim the counter space and find an alternative breakfast beverage. I wanted to avoid a load of caffeine, but didn’t want to sacrifice flavor to do it. After much trial and error, this Scottish Breakfast Tea was the answer.

With two teabags, I can make a 40 oz. pot of tea that is strong enough to stand up to half-and-half, yet doesn’t get bitter if left overnight. It also retains its fresh flavor after heating in the microwave – a trick coffee has never learned. I enjoy the malty taste, and though it says it was originally developed for soft water, it does just fine in my very hard water. For the best flavor, start with cold fresh water and bring it to a full boil before pouring over the bags. There is some science to that which I won’t go into here, but it does make a difference.

If I could choose just one hot beverage in my life, it would be Taylor’s Scottish Breakfast Tea with half-and-half.

The Taylors of Harrogate Classic Tea Variety Box arrived and I could not be more excited. The bags of tea were organized nicely and placed in their own compartment within the black Taylors' box. The effect is classy and elegant.

There are 6 bags for each blend with a total of 48 tea bags. In the top row from left to right: English Breakfast Tea, Earl Grey Tea, Lemon & Orange Tea, Decaffeinated Breakfast Tea. In the bottom row: Assam Tea, Organic Peppermint(caffeine-free), Organic Chamomile(caffeine-free), Green Tea with Jasmine.

Each blend of tea produces a different flavor depending on which you choose. I place one tea bag into a tea cup. I prefer to use a tea kettle to heat my water to boiling. Then I pour the hot water over the tea bag and let the tea steep for five minutes. I discard the used tea bag and then add a splash of cream or milk to my tea. Now my tea is ready to sip and tastes wonderful.

Celestial Seasonings Herbal Tea, Sleepytime, 40 Count Box (Pack of

Celestial Seasonings Herbal Tea, Sleepytime, 40 Count Box (Pack of 6)

Celestial Seasonings Herbal Tea, Sleepytime, 40 Count Box (Pack of 6)

I have not tried this but my wife drinks it every night. She is out like a light which allows me time to write this review.

This tea is excellent! I was looking for a herbal tea that tastes just like black tea, and this one certainly does the job. I enjoy black tea, but have given up caffeine and this is a great alternative to traditional tea. I prefer my black tea with milk and sugar, and that is how I drink this beverage. You will not get the same bold aftertaste that some people enjoy with black tea. the taste will be stronger if you add two bags, but again, not nearly as bitter. The other thing is there is no caffeine so your brain, at first may think something is missing. Other than that, this is the closest thing to black tea that I have been able to find, and I am satisfied with my purchase!

I've been drinking the tea seemingly for decades then SUDDENLY could not find it ANYWHERE here in NY city I was So obsessed about finding it checking store after store I contacted the company who said it was available in New Jersey outside of NYC and online here and I've been ordering it since I Found out since I love Tea and drink it pretty much daily & often during the day but absolutely Hate Caffine very sensitive to it can't slept feel jangely Decades STILL have tiny amounts of Caffine left in them and I can feel them especially since I drink alot.It filld my required liquid quota recommend with HOPEFULLY added benifits from Hawthorn berries said to be good for your heart & a recent EKG said the results were" Very very GOOD! EXCELLENT " I go through 4- 8 teabags a day often double bagging for a large strongly flavored cup. So I always order the larger amount of boxes Its that GOOD if you love black tea but want or have too avoid Caffeine this year for you Great hot and also for Iced
I love it unsweetened or with agave or whatever sweetener even Stevie with fresh lemons
I'm so happy to be able to still get my most favorite tea.
I'm not a coffee drinker at
I highly recommend this tea to any tea lover It will satisfy your love for a good hot cup of tea..

I purchased this the first time at my grocery store to see if I liked it. I needed something to calm me in the evenings before going to sleep. It does the trick for me and the taste is good. Don't know if it is decaffeinated or not but it works for me most of the time unless I an overtired.

So somehow I read this as a 40 count. What it meant was there was 40 per BOX and there were 6 boxes. So now I have 240 packets of peppermint tea. Tea is delicious so that's probably a good thing. Will be drinking this for the next 240 days.

We achieve this flavor profile without the use of any artificial flavors, colors or preservatives. To reduce excess waste, our tea bags are stringless and come packaged in recycled boxes.

We blend our teas using the finest herbs, teas, spices and botanicals available, and we lovingly package them in engaging, thoughtful boxes that truly represent the goodness found inside.



I love the taste, the smell, and how easily it puts me to sleep without getting that fogginess you do from sleeping aids/pills.

So much tea! Probably should have ordered less, but we use this every night! Very nice mild flavor that is soothing. I would buy again, but expect not to need to for a very long time! :-)

BEST Tea Ever! I've been a loyal fan of Celestial Seasonings herbal teas, especially the Sleepytime and most of the variations (Sleepytime MInt, ST Peach, ST Vanilla, etc). Fellow Insomnia Strugglers, drink this. It's good stuff, and it makes you drowsy.
Wal-Mart typically has the 40 bag boxes for $3.86. (Actually, they have a price tag, and an empty shelf that is supposed to hold these.) I prefer to order it from Amazon anytime I can get it for the equivalent price. Saves gas.

Absolutely love this peppermint tea! The 25-Count Tea Bags (Pack of 6) is perfect if you're like me: you love the Celestial Seasonings teas, but prefer your tea bags to be individually wrapped with a string, so the freshness is ensured, but also so you can throw a few tea bags in your purse to work without dragging a whole box of tea around or stuffing them in a zip lock baggy! Also very good if you use a tea bag organizer /caddy, since they're wrapped individually. As much as I understand the logic of going stringless, etc, there are moments in time where you simply don't want to mess with that. The string is good for those who don't like to leave their tea in past the steeping time & who may not be equipped with a spoon (at work for example) to remove the bag.
Also bought this a few years back & this tea stays fresh even past the expiration date. This is now the second time I ordered since I ran out of this tea. My hubby & I drink this most evenings to unwind and help digestion along, but it's perfect for any time of the day.

I drink this tea just about every night before bed, and the savings that I get on this tea, compared to buying it in the grocery store, is crazy. I'm so happy they continue to sell this tea at this price. One 6 pack of 40 bag boxes lasts me 6 months.

Choice Organic Teas Wellness Teas, 16 Tea Bags, Rest

Choice Organic Teas Wellness Teas, 16 Tea Bags, Rest Assured

Choice Organic Teas Wellness Teas, 16 Tea Bags, Rest Assured

I'm a radio DJ (yes, there are a few of us left!) and have been for umpteen years. I used to use a different brand of a similar throat tea until a few years ago, when my Naturopathic Physician told me about Choice Throat Cozy Tea. Choice Brand teas are formulated by Bastyr University, which in my opinion is the top Naturopathic Medical College in the country. After I brewed and enjoyed my first cup, I was convinced this worked better for my throat than any other "throat tea" I'd ever tried. The taste is excellent as is the formulation of ingredients. I highly recommend this tea if you talk a lot in your profession like I do, or just want a soothing cup of tea when your throat needs a little help. I also buy Choice brand teas in other formulations and flavors and enjoy them very much. I do not work for Choice Brand teas or Bastyr University, nor am I compensated for this or any other review(s) on Amazon.

This helped my cough and congestion so much I'm so glad I had it on hand. Ordered another to keep on hand always. It really helped to keep the mucus flowing and getting it out.

I like the subtle flavor in this tea. Easy to steep in ice water (I prefer to hot tea). While I am not sure there is enough contained in this tea to do a whole lot, I supplement holistically and when I was drinking this regularly, I did feel a bit better. Possibly because the taste was appealing enough to me that I stayed away from "crap" more than usual.
Either way. Light sweetish flavor. Subtle. So far I've tried this and the energy boost tea from this brand and I've been pleased with flavor of both. I also like that the materials used are organic.
Price is reasonable, worth a little extra for me as I like it over many others that I have tried.

Hard to find elsewhere, glad you had this. A delicious, umame type flavor from the reishi. Almost coffee like, in that it is a thick very flavorful tea. Also we drink it for medicinal detox purposes, think it works to help clear other's chemical scent addiction from my body.

This tea is amazing! It's a wonderful blend of mint and licorice flavors but the best part is how well it clears you out! If you suffer from conjestion from allergies or a cold, this tea is the perfect natural remedy. Works like a charm.

We enjoy tea in the afternoon and again in the evening. Rest Assured blend by Choice is the one we prefer for evening. We love knowing it is organic, and the flavor blend is lovely, very pleasant tasting but not overpowering. (Hubby says: "Mmm! Wonderful tea!") I love sniffing the tea bag before we dunk it. Time to order more Rest Assured blend, and I think we'll try some of the others that we haven't sampled yet.

This tea works better than all the others I have tried. With the first sip, it starts to work and open up my airways. (I have chronic asthma.) It also has the best taste and I add honey for sweetening. I am thrilled with this product.

This is a nice blend of herbs for detoxing. The flavor is slightly sweet, but not overpowering. I enjoy this tea with nothing added, just straight.

This tea is wonderful for so many things! It's great for calming a cough, opening up your sinuses and helping you relax and fall asleep! Breathing space is by far my favorite tea, it's wonderful with honey or without!

I love this tea! It has such a good flavor. It is my favorite tea that isn't loose tea. I have this on a regular auto-ship. Highly recommend.

Planters Salted Mixed Nuts (54 oz

Planters Salted Mixed Nuts (54 oz Canister)

Planters Salted Mixed Nuts (54 oz Canister)

I'm allergic to hazelnuts so I decided to "un-mix" the container and weigh the nuts separately just because I could. To all those that think there are more than 50 percent peanuts I beg to differ. The total weight of peanuts in my container was 27.10 ounces or 48.9%. Next in line were almonds at 16.80 ounces or 30.3%. Third were cashews at 5.00 ounces or 9.0%. Fourth were hazelnuts at 4.20 ounces or 7.6% and last were the pecans at 2.30 ounces or 4.2%. I thought all were of very good quality. Would like to see just a little less salt in order to achieve 5 stars.

This is a huge can of nuts. Tasty nuts. Apparently the peanuts occupy less than 50% of the population in this massive canister of nuts. Apparently that's supposed to be a good thing. Seems unfair, sorta classist, to single out the peanuts among all the other nuts for controlling their population levels in these canisters. Some people really like peanuts! Planters should consider being more transparent about whether and how they control the population levels of the other nuts. They should also seriously reflect on the effects their marketing practices have on pervasive negative stereotypes about peanuts.

Anyways, this is a nice big can of nuts. Good, tasty mix. I knocked a star because these are salted pretty heavily, at least for my taste. To be clear, that's not going to prevent me from eating and enjoying the entire canister. It's still tasty stuff. But, it does mean I get sated more quickly each time I decide to pop open the can to chow down some nuts. And as some guy said somewhere at some point:

"When it comes to salt on your nuts, addition is easier than subtraction".

I've purchased these Planter's Mixed Nuts for years as a healthy snack for my family.

+Good assortment of peanuts, almonds, cashews, pecans, and hazelnuts.
+Nuts % in that order with about 50% peanuts, then almonds, cashews, etc.
+Crunchy and tastes good. Healthier than munching on chips.

First of all, I totally underestimated the size this can of nuts would be! The thing is HUGE! It's as big as a big can of coffee. I've included a pic next to a big container of coffee that I have here so you can see how big the can of nuts is.

It's got a nice variety/mix of various nuts and not too many peanuts. Of course there's always more peanuts and almonds than the more premium nuts, but I'm finding enough cashews and pecans in the mix to make me happy And it's nice and salty- it says on the label that it's "Pure Sea Salt." So if you're looking for low salted nuts, then these will be too salty for you. I love salt and they are just perfect for me.

They are definitely addictive- I'm afraid I'll have this huge can eaten up in the next two days!

I love mixed nuts and tend to eat them a lot. The 56 oz container is perfect for me and the price is great, especially since I've noticed that this larger container seems to have a lower ratio of brazil nuts than most of the other sizes (although this is purely anecdotal as I haven't done any measurements). I always pick out the brazil nuts, and usually when I get the smaller containers of mixed nuts I usually have to pick a few out of almost every serving I pour out. With the 56 oz container I have found that there are many times when I pour out a serving that there aren't any brazil nuts and when there are it is usually just one or two. One downside to the larger container is that the nuts at the bottom tend to be saltier since that settles to the bottom and there is a lot to settle. I try to keep it shaken up but that doesn't seem to help much. This is still absolutely worth it for me.

My kid tried telling me that there is something out there about not eating nuts in November, some internet trend the kids are doing I guess, but I'm a grown man, and these were on sale in November, So I bought them anyways. I subtracted one star due to the slightly false advertising on Planters part with their claim on the can that these mixed nuts contain less that 50% peanuts. Now I've only received and opened my can today, and while I have eaten more of these nuts today than I probably should have, I haven't gotten through 1/8th of the can, so maybe the bigger nuts have settled at the bottom and I just don't know, but by my observation so far, I would estimate, at least at the top of the can, that these contain about 60-65% peanuts, which is neither a Pea or a NUT, as I seem to get way more peanuts in every handful than anything else combined. That being said, I like Peanuts just fine and these are some tasty nuts indeed. Maybe a bit too salty for some people's taste, and probably way saltier than my doctor would want me eating, but I've been enjoying them so far. What has surprised and delighted me the most is the Cashews. I was expecting to open the can to find maybe one or two cashew in the can, and Planters has been stingy with them in the past, but no it is not the cashews that is lacking in this can, but surprisingly the pecans that are the rare ones. I like pecans just fine, but the cashews, that's the money nut in my book, so this was a win for me. Plenty of Almonds and Hazel nuts too, so if those are your favorite, you'll be happy, the only ones that may be upset are the pecan fans, as those are really lacking in this can. As far as freshness goes, I'm not sure how to tell if nuts are fresh, but they taste just fine and fresh to me, there's no stale or dried out taste, that's all I know. Ha, No Nut November, I don't think so!

Have to say that opening a 56 oz can of Planters Mixed Nuts with Sea Salt is like opening a grab bag. A couple cans ago we found the largest almonds we'd ever seen. All of the nuts were decent size. The can we opened yesterday looks more like floor sweepings. I realize that they are sold by weight, and not size, just pointing out the variance. :-) (Ironically, this can had a 10 percent price increase from previous delivery...Subscribe and Save.

A wonderful perfect gift for my step dad who never wants a birthday nor a gift to remind him of said birthday! First time he did complain! He literally went nuts at the holiday gathering the dishes of this wonderful mix like a kid picking his favorites!! Lol...luckily this is a big wonderful can I could keep refilling them! So I reordered a can for his birthday!! Along with another jar of salt free pistachio mix and popcorn...He's all set to watch his movies & sports!!

I bought these by accident, thinking I was buying the Deluxe Mixed Nuts. If you like peanuts, you will love these. They are very fresh and have an adequate mix of premium nuts. I will not buy them again, though, as I much prefer the Deluxe Mixed Nuts that have no peanuts. These have at least half, if not 75 percent peanuts.

I buy this 56 oz mix to refill the smaller container I keep at my office desk. Its a good mix with a noticeable amount of nuts other than peanuts. I feel its a good deal and the sea salt is not overpowering. Last me about 3 months with daily snacking.

Celestial Seasonings Herbal Tea, Wild Berry Zinger, 20 Count per box, Pack of

Celestial Seasonings Herbal Tea, Wild Berry Zinger, 20 Count per box, Pack of 6

Celestial Seasonings Herbal Tea, Wild Berry Zinger, 20 Count per box, Pack of 6

Asking me to review what I consider to be the greatest confluence of tea flavors ever is a bit ridiculous. I have, since I was a boy, found this tea to faultless and sheer perfection. I realize faultless and perfect mean roughly the same thing...I was doubling down on my assessment. It is pure joy punctuated with bright, tangy flavors and sweet scents held in the loving arms of a hibiscus flower. I have been with other "hibiscus" teas. I have even tried more expensive teas but to say they all pale in comparison is the understatement of my lifetime. This tea, to me, is my youth, my life and my future. As a side note, I found in my twenties that it also made a brilliant hangover cure. Perhaps it finds you the same, perhaps not, but I was not requested to give your review I was asked to give MY review, however biased it may be. Though I suppose all reviews are biased aren't they?

This is a lovely, mild tasting tea that is great warm or cold. I ordered the 6-pack because my husband drank the first box before I could get to it! The main taste is the watermelon, but it is not overpowering. If you want to make it into iced tea, I suggest making ice cubes with the tea or serving chilled with no ice cubes. Otherwise you will lose some of the flavor. Try serving this to people who don't normally drink herbal teas (like me). I also suggest if you can, that you stop at Celestial Seasonings in Colorado and do a taste test of their teas. That's how I found this one!

Never saw this in the stores near me. Yummy. I roll up a tea bag and stuff into my water bottles. It is a nice change from the other zinger flavors. Its not as tart but very flavorful. This is on my subscribe and save. I haven't tried it hot yet, I am just making refrigerator tea with it. Very happy with this.

If you like the Celestial Herb teas you will love the WIld Berry Zinger. I prepare pitchers of it and keep it in the fridge. When you are looking for a real thirst quencher this is what you want. I do not add sugar either. When family and friends come over I offer this drink and they love it. Now when they come over that's the first thing they ask for, a glass of my Wild Berry Zinger tea! If you are trying to cut calories but not flavor you need to try this tea. Takes great hot too but I'm an iced tea drinker.

You can't beat Red Zinger Tea. I had to give up coffee and needed something to help replace it. This is not the same as coffee, but helps a lot. It's good hot or cold. Remember, brew it like says, don't just dip the bag in water. If you are going to drink it then do it justice and make it correctly. I had to buy six boxes to get it from Amazon, but they won't last long. .

My husband drinks about five cups of tea a day. I was becoming concerned that he was ingesting too much caffeine. I wanted him to change to a non-caffeinated tea. I bought a selection of herbal teas in the local market for him to try. He loved both the Raspberry and the Wild Berry Zinger tea. I then bought some cartons of both teas from Amazon, and will continue to purchase them.

What is really nice, is that I find that I also love those two flavors of tea. I find that now I have become a regular tea drinker.

I've recently gone back to CS teas as they are more affordable than Tazo. I'm pleasantly surprised at how good they are & how they stand the test of time. I'm looking forward to trying more flavors and the charm of the box designs is an added perk. I drink Lemon Zinger every night, brewed in the pot with a bag or two of Wild Berry Zinger as well. Extremely refreshing, hydrating, & relaxing...

This tea tastes great and smells even better! It's my husband's favorite tea, we order it in bulk on a regular basis.

It's a herbal tea, therefore caffeine free, and it can be enjoyed an any time of the day or night; it won't keep you awake and it won't make you drowsy, it just offers hydration and refreshment. We make a big pot of it every day and enjoy it according to preference: my husband adds honey to his, I like it plain. It's equally good hot or cold. It's more flavorful than plain water and so much healthier than soda.

There's definitely a lemon "zing" to it, and the flavor is comparable to more expensive teas (like Teavana). I love the blend of lemon, hibiscus, rose hips and lemongrass, it's very invigorating. I just wish it didn't contain soy lecithin, but for how good this tea is, that's not a deal breaker.

We all need to drink more water, right? Right. I love this brand of herbal tisane because there are no tags, staples or strings to get in the way of sticking a 'tea' bag into a 16oz water bottle (or any size for that matter). I put in my flavor of herbal tisane bags, one each per bottle, then refrigerate. Easy to grab and go. All lined up and ready to drink with different flavors. For my big thermos, I fill thermos half with ice, then pour in my ready-made ::2 herbal 'tea' bags and 1 packet of Splenda per 16oz water bottle:: into thermos...I can sip on this all day. I make one for my night-time drinking as well. The 'tea' bag stays inside the water bottle and only the 'tea' goes into your container.
Not a strong Tangerine or Orange flavor as I would like, but delicious none-the-less. Very good flavor without having to add sugar/sweeteners. No bitterness. This infuses to a beautiful blood orange color, deep and rich. Turns ordinary water into a spectacular drink. Put orange slices into your infuser bottle with one of these herbal 'tea' bags and you have a beautiful, thirst-quenching drink.

Great taste, and smells amazing! I added sugar and it tasted like koolaid :)
I bought this because I read it helps get your body ready for labor. I'm not sure if it's true or not, but worth a try! Either way the taste is great!
