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.
