But I reached a point where due to my erratic work schedule, trying to fit in my studying time and completing assignments, my sleep pattern was disrupted and it was affecting my mood and concentration. So I bit the bullet and purchased this at a local B&M store. When I got home after work, I boiled some water and opened the package. I noticed that this tea was packaged in a plastic bag so I guess it did has a pungent smell. I opened the plastic bag and took a big whiff. I was kind of disappointed. It doesn't smell as bad as some of the other reviewers made it out to me but then again my nose has been wonky for some time so it could be me. Yes I will admit that it does has a funky odor but it is not that strong to me. To me, smells like this health food store I used to frequent in the Hyde Park neighborhood. Very musky but weirdly comforting. I have tried it with peppermint, turmeric (for a different affliction) and I have tried it plain with stevia and it taste okay to me. I wouldn't say I have an iron stomach because I can easily get sick if food is left out in the open not at the proper temperature. For me, this product took about two days for it to kick in and I am now able to sleep for a full eight hours straight instead of sleeping in fits of four hours here, wake up for about two hours, sleep for three, wake up for a hour and sleep for another four hours. For those with sensitive noses and sense of taste, you have been amply warned by other reviewers. For others, I say give it a shot or at least pair it with some other teas to dilute the taste a bit. There are some great suggestions mentioned by other reviewers, like mint for example. |

As a result, I was happy to find a canned version from the Skyline brand on Amazon (in fact, Skyline was always my favorite, although there are several other good chili restaurants in Cincinnati, including Gold Star and Empress). However, I was disappointed to find that the can contained very little beef and a good deal of flavored water! It still had the fondly remembered aroma, but it needs a heck of a lot more substance to be more than a sad little ghost of the chili you would get in an actual Skyline restaurant in good ol' Zinzinnati. |

This far exceeded my expectaions, considering the price, what I expected was a cheap coffee, what I got was not only a great deal on price, but the aroma of this coffee is great. Even tastes better drinking it from my Red Soxs coffee mugs, also bought on Amazon. Fast delivery by 4 days by the USPS. Highly recommend to any coffee drinker. |

This is by far the best one. Actually has more of a sweet taste and any bitterness is hard to even notice. Packed with antioxidants. A few squares a day is a great addition to any healthy diet. |

It is one of nature's best blood purifiers in addition to being great for women anytime. It's great year round and for flu season, and you can ice it too. Sweeten it up with a bag of chamomile or red clover. Spearmint & peppermint tea compliment it well too -- or add value to that flavored stuff from the supermarket w/this.
You can drink this like water and I can't say enough about how good this tea is for well being, you'll probably instantly feel better. |

I took a star off because I've been drinking it for several weeks and I'm not seeing the work of benefits that is claimed of Sage tea (but then, I've always believed that you lose some benefits when the teas are in bags as opposed to still being in leaf form?). |

I was only half right. While the rose flavor is still there, you have to really search for it. I think it takes a few cups to do that because this is primarily a fruity tea. After you knock the first few cups down and find the subtle rose flavor, you'll find that it tastes like what a rose would taste like if it were a fruit. Which is basically what rose hips are. After drinking this entire box, I found that I really liked it. I was sad when the box was gone and I do intend to get some more soon.
Just as an added note, I feel this needs to be mentioned. If you're like me and like to suck on the teabag, I do not recommend doing it with this tea! The bags themselves are not very thick and will break and you will have an explosion of mushy rose hips in your mouth! |

I havent noticed any effect from the tea though but I have only used it for a few days so maybe it takes awhile. However, if they'd be able to keep the sacks closed that would help alot! |

The second box, not so much. I am not sure if the tea builds up in your system and stops working or if it is just me. The tea does not have a bad taste, doable for its purpose. Sage tea has been recommended by many as a means of cutting down hot flashes, vs taking meds that can be linked to cancer. Give it try, it might work for you. |

I've only had one cup of it, so I can't say if it has helped my symptoms or not. I have purchased other teas of this brand. I would recommend their teas. I wasn't crazy about the taste of the red clover, but that is just my personal opinion. It's a little bitter but bearable. Add some sugar and you're good to go. |

The taste of this herbal tea is interesting: it's got a hint of sweetness with a very slight medicinal bitterness. Feels quite dry and alkaline to me. Color is light brown. Not particularly delightful or tasty, neither does it have a strong, captivating aroma like the Japanese roasted green tea - it's just weird beyond description. Reminds me of dried summer leaves. Not unpleasant though; I am still glad that I tried it! |

His advice? Drinking Fenugreek tea, taking L-Arginine supplements and getting a good nights' sleep (6 hour min.). Well, I am going to give it a shot. This tea has an interesting taste-not your typical tea but not bad. It tastes pretty good with a bit of honey added actually. I wasn't able to find this tea in any local supermarkets but here it is on Amazon. Seems they have everything! |

The taste isn't great, but I don't think it's as bad as some other reviews have said. If you're concerned about the taste, you can use some sage from your spice cabinet and make a cup. It tastes pretty much the same, but it didn't seem cost effective to use the sage you buy in the spice aisle. |
