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.

I love Buddha Tea. Right now I have five different types of Buddha Tea in my pantry and they are all wonderful! The blends I have are Juniper Berry, Digestive Nirvana, European Peppermint, Calm Buddha Blend and Divine Immunity Blend. I like to drink the Calm Buddha Blend before I go to bed, it helps me to fall asleep faster and sleep better all night. They are all great teas and I really love that they use unbleached tea bags, so they are chemical free. My husband likes the teas too. I highly recommend them.

Good tea for health benefits. Decent price. Pretty packaging.

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.

Rose hip tea is a folk remedy for empacho - a digestive ailment familiar to many Latinx people. Sometimes digestive ailments are caused by psychological distress, and placebo remedies can be quite beneficial in telling the brain "I am treating this problem, it is time to feel better." Even though I know it is a placebo, I feel it is beneficial to help calm stomach upset due to stress and anxiety. But also, this is a very nice tea. People have complained it is not very strong, but I like that it is not a strong and over powering tea, and there is no caffeine, because when I have a digestive complaint, I want a simple food that is not overwhelming. It has plenty enough flavor and pleasant aroma to tell your brain you are consuming something more than water, but it doesn't make me feel worse. Also one of the teabags I noticed had the phrase "pump up the jam" which was hilarious because my friend had never heard this song (he is too young) and I was able to play it for him and show him what a strange time the 80s was. I will be purchasing again when I run out.

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.

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

All of Buddha Teas are very good. Love they are organic. I have many of their various teas.
