WOW, what a tea! And, I don't just mean the flavor! This tea makes me feel so relaxed almost like I have taken a mild tranquilizer but actually I've only drank herbs that are good for me. I think it may be the Hops herb in there creating that chill-axed mode. When I am feeling stressed out, drained, worrying, etc., etc., etc. from things piling up on my shoulders, I take one or two bags (two if I'm over the top stressed) and some hot almost boiling water and let the tea bag steep for quite a while so I get the full benefits of the tea. I may leave the teabag in for 30 minutes to an hour or more, (or less time if I'm at my wits ends and need it immediately, lol). I never have any adverse reactions to it. Just calm peaceful state is what I am left with. The tea is nothing short of amazing, I kid you not. The only thing is I try not to drink it too late in the evening because it has B-6 and B-12 in it which supports the nervous system and aids depression/anxiety but also may give a little energy as all of the B vitamins do. It has a form a ginseng as well, called eleuthero, which is a balancing herb that tonifies the body and mind so that balances out the B vitamins in the tea. Hard to explain but it sort of relaxes but balances and takes that strained, drained, stressed out feeling away. It's honestly a great tea.
