Honey flavouring and 'vanilla' never really go down well with us. No matter how 'natural' it might be, it still comes out tasting sickly and somehow artificial.
And that's exactly what we found with this blend. Even just the smell is like fake sweeteners. It is thoroughly unappetising. There's hardly more than a hint of chamomile under all that flavouring, and the vanilla is non-existent. The flavour is similar. It has an overly sickly sweet taste (no doubt a mix of flavouring an liquorice) that is utterly disgusting. You can't taste the chamomile much, although you do get a citrusy undercurrent from the lemongrass (which always tastes artificial even though it's a real plant)...it's just that fake, nasty sweetness gumming up your throat. Why would you ruin chamomile like this?? We couldn't finish one cup between us and we will definitely not be buying more.Best time of year to drink this: Never
