Buddha Teas Organic Hawthorn Berry Tea - OU Kosher, USDA Organic, CCOF, 18 Bleach-Free Tea Bags

I will order this tea again. It is fine and I am drinking it in the hopes it is healthy for my heart.

Love the flavor of this tea. Very mellow.

My wife wanted to try these and enjoys drinking it. A bit of a week flavor but that is normal for herbal tea.

First, Hawthorn is a medicinal herb. It tastes OK, it is very commonly taken as a tea, it has significant potential health benefits, but it is not a tea which you drink like a regular black or green tea, for the pleasure of flavor. It does not taste that good. It is used by herbalists primarily to support cardio-vascular system, it is beneficial for health of the heart and can help with stabilizing blood pressure (usually in combination with other herbs). It can be good both with excessively high and with excessively low blood pressure. Hawthorn leaves aid peripheral circulation, hawthorn berries aid the heart. Although this tea is called "hawthorn berry tea", it is actually a blend of powdered berries and leaves, which is good. The next thing, a herbalist would steep one to two teaspoons of this herb per cup of hot water, and would steep for as long as practical, at least 15 minutes. Well, one to two teaspoons is MUCH more than is in one tea bag. It is doubtful how much health benefits, if any at all, one would get from a tiny bag, and there is no other reason to drink it because it tastes between OK to tolerable but not enjoyable for sure. If you steep several teabags at the same time, you will be OK in the sense of using it as a medicinal herb, but this is where retailed packages become too pricey. At a good herbal store, you can get 4 oz of leaves and 4 oz of berries, possibly better quality than in these tea bags, for roughly the same total price as one package of this tea. It may be a good idea to buy a package of this herb packaged as retail tea bags, just to try to make sure you do not totally hate the flavor, but there is no reason to buy it continuously. Value for money is OK to try, as it is not a mainstream "tea" and it is nicely packaged, but it probably 8x or more the cost of the actual herb, measured by weight. You pay primarily for the cardboard and packaging.

This tea doesn’t taste good. It doesn’t taste like berries at all. Very strange unpleasant flavor.. I wish I could return it. I thought I was buying a premium item.. but I’m very disappointed.

Excellent for health. Fresh

The media could not be loaded. Every one is a mess. Hawthorn herb outside of teabags, every single one.

Love the duality of this tea - helps indigestion and also for those nights where I can't fall asleep, I brew a mug of this and find myself able to rest.
