Reminiscent of fungus

I've tried this tea only once but unfortunately, I was so sure that I'd like it that I have a sample pack on the way. My initial take was that it had an earthy, somewhat mushroom-like flavor. This doesn't work for me in a tea. If I hadn't jumped the gun and ordered more before sampling, I would not have ordered more.
I was unsure about this tea after researching it and reading reviews. I started with a sample pack and ended up ordering two cases. I don't find the flavor offensive but not everyones taste buds are the same. I find it soothing and relaxing and great before bed.
I haven't tried many teas yet, I am a coffee person, but I used to buy peppermint tea in stores once in a while. This was my first order of herbal tea, and I love, love, love it! I brew it my VUE using solofill adapter, mainly because the VUE brews hotter than my Platinum brewer. I used the 10oz setting and some Monk fruit sweetener. Delicious!
I used to drink this tea as a little girl especially at luncheons, as it was made cold with a touch of citrus juices and it was great! It was a different name and now I've found it again and it's still the same as it reminds me of my youth as it was a good time in my life.
Pros: Refreshing, High Quality, Energizing, Soothing, Fresh
I am a daily afternoon tea drinker. I am also a registered dietitian nutritionist. So, I am always looking for healthy choices. I wanted to like this tea, but I did not. It smells like tobacco and tastes like it smells(I've never actually tasted tobacco). Not pleasant to me. Did not enjoy.
Very unique flavor. I would agree with those who said it tastes strong, but it is certainly not overpowering. I usually add one sweetener packet and it really makes it good. Definitely will continue to order this. It is my go-to tea in the evening.
