Seven different types of flowers are in this tea! It has Linden flowers, Valerian root, Passion flower, Manita flower, Tilia flower, Spearmint Leaf, Peppermint leaf, Lemon balm leaf, and orange oil. Having had Linden tea before, I recognized the strong linden flavor, but I couldn&#8217;t detect any orange flavor. The tea definitely has a very unusual sweet herb flavor with the freshness of mint, but instead of appetizing it tastes more like a strange grandmother remedy. I ended up not finishing the cup. It&#8217;s definitely a very strange tea.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" height=\"240\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/victoriagracehowell.com\/staging\/6258\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Herbalist_garden.png?resize=320%2C240\" width=\"320\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\">It tastes like it was made by this lady from<i> Avatar: The Last Airbender<\/i>.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif; font-size: large;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif; font-size: large;\">Serving Recommendations: <\/span><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif; font-size: medium;\">I steeped this at 212 for three minutes and added honey then sugar when I didn&#8217;t like the honey taste.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: white; line-height: 20px;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><br \/><\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">How much is it and where can you get it?&nbsp;<\/span>I found this tea at Walmart for about $3, but you can also get it at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tadin.com\/\">the Tadin website<\/a>.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: white; line-height: 20px;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif; font-size: large;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: white; line-height: 20px;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">So how good is it? <\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The tea had potential, but didn&#8217;t have the flavor I was hoping for.
