I'm thinking of ordering some loose leaf herbal teas (possibly from
Upton, Adagio, or elsewhere...) and am wondering what herbals people
have found particularly good - ? Many thanks for any suggestions!

Hi Sally,

You might want to try Licorice Root tea. Its a favorite of mine.

My two favorites are from Rishi:

Serene

Peppermint
(http://www.rishi-tea.com/store/detai...tanical+Blends)

The Honeybush isn't bad either
(http://www.rishi-tea.com/store/detai...tanical+Blends),
a little like Rooibos, but IMO somewhat better.

And the Osthmanthus is kinda interesting for every once in a while
(http://www.rishi-tea.com/store/detai... nical+Blends).

I'm a fan of anything in the mint family. I find that it's great to
drink them for relaxation, if I have a cold, or if my throat hurts.
Peppermint is my fav, though. heh.

I'm quite fond of Upton's Green Rooibos Poire Crème. I also order their
regular rooibos and rooibos Earl Grey.

With the Poire Crème, after steeping 4 tsps. in 24 oz, I add 1/8 tsp.
vanilla and 2 dining tsps. honey to make the flavor match the aroma.

Often, I also add vanilla and honey in the same amounts to the regular
rooibos.

Adagio has an herbal called Foxtrot - very good! However, you can make
it yourself easily enough - it's just one part chamomile, one part
peppermint and one part rooibos.
