Hi all,

I have been experimenting with different herbal teas and so far my favorite brand is Traditional Medicinals especially Smooth Moves because of the flavor (not to give me movement though it probably does help, lol!)... I eat lots of ruffage for that. I also drink Dandelion Root Tea (same company).

Have tried Yogi which is not bad and now I'm thinking I should check out Mountain Rose Herbs as they sell loose tea but have no idea which tea to pick out.

What is your favorite tasting herbal tea that is caffeine free?

Thanks!
Denise

Thanks Mister Mike!

Just to clarify I'm asking what is your favorite "tasting" herbal tea? I have not experimented with many teas (maybe about 3 or 4 different brands). I keep going back to Smooth Moves because of the taste. The ingredients are:

Senna leaf
Licorice root
Bitter Fennel Fruit
Sweet Orange Peel
Cinnamon Bark
Coriander Fruit
Ginger Rhizome
Orange Peel Oil

I wonder if it's the Orange and Cinnamon that makes it taste so good?

Will have to check out Chaga tea. Just curious if anyone buys loose teas from Mountain Rose Herbs?

Thanks again!
Denise :-)

I too love the Yogi teas, and also Numi Organic Tea (like Maté Lemon)

But also:
Sage
Hibiscus (add some orange (organic) zest or fresh mint once it stopped boiling - you'll need to add stevia because it's very tangy)

and this mixture:
boil a small pan of water (about 23oz), turn it off
add finely chopped ginger to it (about 5 heaped table spoons)
10 crushed cardamom pods
10 clove buds
let it sit for 15mins
add the juice of half a lemon
add honey
(very strong, but delicious and a great digestive)

or just green tea leaves (few), a few clove buds and at the end add fresh mint.

I love Mint Magic (blend of peppermint and spearmint). I have a half gallon glass jar and I fill it and put in 2 tea bags and into the fridge it goes. You don't have to do anything else. Just take out the tea bags on your first glass of cold ice tea.

I love Kava for any stressful time or nights I need help with sleep.

I love peach flavored tea

My go-to for cold season is Paun D'Arco AND Gypsy Cold Care in a big cup.
Breathe Easy is nice.
Chia tea
Lemon Zinger
Gosh, trying to remember what is in the tea drawer. Hubby drinks twice the amount of tea as I do. I love plain water, room temperature.

Deejavu- I like the same brand but their Everyday Detox tea - not regular one but the one that says Lemon on it. When I'm in the mood for something mild it's my favorite. I also like Organic India Tulsi (original - Holy Basil).

Thanks everyone!

kyo07, I never tried TM's Everyday Detox Tea, next time I order I will try it (with the Lemon)!

PeteZa, the Mint Magic sounds good as well as the peach flavor.

Marie, I like your mixture as I would like to start making my own tea! There is a beekeeper that lives near me where I buy honey from.

Mister Mike, is chaga a mushroom tea? I never drank mushrooms before! Sounds healthy though...

Thanks again,
Denise

Goodness Mister Mike, that is fascinating! Thanks so much for the link as now I'm going to buy the Chaga sclerotium. They grow high in the sky which reminds me (yeah, I'm getting off topic here) of the movie Medicine Man with Sean Connery (yep, I'm a huge fan of Sean Connery)! I try to picture myself swinging from tree to tree in the Amazon, but I'm afraid of heights, LOLOL!!

Thanks again!

Ooooo thank you Mister Mike. I looked it up and Chaga tea is in my close health food store. But the tea bags have rose hips and eleuthero in them. So they have Chaga powder in the bulk section and I love the benefits of mushrooms but we don't have birch trees near here. So I will use the powder. Do you just use cheese cloth quadruple wrapped to strain the powder?

It is on my grocery list.
