The stimulating organic spices of ginger and cinnamon are balanced with the soft sweetness of licorice. Accents of lemon from lemongrass complement the caramel flavor notes of echinacea, which brings it reputation for healthful properties to this vibrant blend.

Preparations: 1 tsp, 5-7 min
- Very healthful and salubrious; I'm not sure how to explain it, but it just tastes of goodness. Not yummy-goodness, just... like cleansing-goodness or recuperation-goodness. Ideal for a bad headache day or frightening cough days.
- Less is more, I've discovered, for this tea. Two teaspoons pack a sort of unappealing and overwhelming zing of licorice and ginger, but one teaspoon is just enough to have that hint of spiciness fade out into a pleasant mellow aftertaste of cinnamon. Granted, I taste more ginger than anything else, but there is still a good mix of lemongrass, licorice, and cinnamon.
- The taste is nothing special. I do like that there is no caffeine, so it's good for late work nights, when you're feeling tired. But it's not what I'd think of as a "de-stress" tea, mostly because I prefer more sweetness (like a dessert) for such occasions.
- Only recommended for those who are currently sick or have a particular preference for lemongrass and ginger! Not a bad tea, but if you are neither of the above, then you may not find it worth $12 for a tin.
