Nettle Tea

I wasn’t expecting this to taste good. I expected it to taste like grass or something green. But it surprised me. It had a pleasant, light flavor that I can’t quite describe. I added honey as a sweetener, and the tea had a creaminess to it I’ve never experienced before. Bag is made of thick plastic and is re-sealable. Using one teaspoon for a cup of tea, this is going to last a long, long time. I also love that it’s caffeine free, so I can drink it any time of the day and won’t be awake all night.

I had heard of Nettle tea, but I had never tried it before today. I was a little surprised by the size of the bag - 8oz is a pretty significant amount of this tea. It was securely vacuum-packed so it was still very fresh when I opened the bag. To be honest, my first thought when I opened the package was "Hmm, lawn clippings?", but I gave it the benefit of the doubt and brewed myself a cup of this Nettle tea anyway. The resulting cup of tea looked and smelled very "green" and the unmodified taste left a bit to be desired. Adding a little honey really helped the flavor immensely, so the final result was very drinkable. I suspect it would also be good with a little brown sugar. I can't speak to the health effects of this tea, but as a basic green tea, it's not bad and I will certainly make myself another cup. I certainly have plenty of tea to drink.

This nettle tea is a good addition to my herbal tea stash. I like that it's wild crafted and nettle is supposed to have many benefits. It came promptly well packaged with a healthy exp date. Recommended

The tea is in loose-leaf form consisting of stinging nettle (Ortiga) with the leaves, roots and stems mixed in, there are many ways to prepare this tea, however I prefer the standard tea brewing method by adding 1 tsp of nettle into a tea diffuser, and let it steep in a cup of boiling water for 10–12 minutes (or to the desired strength), for the taste it's kind unique, I actually quite enjoy it how it is, of course it can be fixed up with lemon or honey if needed, nettle is known to be high in nutrients, antioxidants, it's caffeine free so can be enjoyed at anytime of the day. The bag is re-sealable once opened, and is transparent so you can visually see the quality of the tea inside, the tea is caffeine-free, non-gmo, the bag contains 8 oz of tea. Overall I highly recommend.

I’ve never had this tea before so it is not easy for me to compare it to anything I’ve experienced wrote. I’ll evaluate it in its own merits. Quality of the product looks good, well packaged and clean looking ingredients. The fact it’s from the Andes makes it cool and most likely free of pesticides and any additives. The tea is so light, the entire large bag weighs just 8 ounces. Brewing is easy, tea spoon of tea, boiling water, wait 3-5 minutes, strain and done. Aroma at first was pungent, I wasn’t sure what to make of it, a bit like vegetables gone bad, but as the tea steeped the smell disappeared and a light okay smell remained. The taste is definitely good, smooth no harshness whatsoever. It’s kinda of sweet on its own so I didn’t add honey or anything else to it. I drank the full cup with some tea powder remained on the bottom of the cup. A little over $2 an ounce it is proved okay since you get a cup per tea spoon. No complaints.
