Ingredients: Melissa (lemonbalm leaves), passionflower herb, green oat, valerian root, hop flowers
Caffeine Factor: Caffeine-Free Organic Ingredients: Unknown Price Range: £2.49 Bags Per Box: 10Our Review: This is a truly 'natural herbal tea', just as the box promises. The smell is earthy and raw, with a hint of lemon. It's soothing and seems to scream out, 'I'm good for you!' The taste is also very earthy and natural - and thankfully less lemony than the aroma suggests (too much lemonbalm and, strangely, even the most natural of blends starts to taste artificial).
The key point about this blend is that it lives up to its name. It relaxes the muscles and calms the mind - and, despite the valerian, it didn't knock us out. The green oats help with mental clarity, so you feel sharper and more focused, which is good even in the day, although it certainly helps you unwind at bedtime as well. If you're feeling stressed at work, this is a good one to take things down a notch and clear your head. This one has a pleasant enough flavour but it isn't at the top of our list in terms of taste. What makes it special is the effect it has. If you struggle with stress or nerves, this is a great one to keep on hand to take the edge off and get you through the ups and downs of daily life.Best time of year to drink this: Anytime
