Anti-Strain

I was exploring Ayurvedic teas and my son stopped in Whistling Kettle in Troy and got this for me as a present. I love it! It’s so calming and perfect to sip at my desk at work - a treat!

I first gave this flavor a try since it contains many of the same notes as my usual go-to relaxation tea from Aveda (if you've ever been to one of their stores or salons, you'd be offered a cup). This WK blend is SO much better! The smoothly sweet hint of licorice and cinnamon perfectly balances the fresh ginger and cardamom spice notes, and finishes with an uplifting orange zing. Pairs so well with a small dose of rock crystal sugar, but it may be sweet enough to go without. My husband's not usually a tea drinker, but this tea made him a convert. We go through enough, especially in the colder months, to justify splurging on a monthly subscription. Definitely our staple tea flavor!

The ingredients in this tea are so perfect for after a hot, spicy meal or before bed. The natural sweetness will have me buying and drinking more!

I love this tea, the cinnamon is just a little sweet, and goes so well with the licorice. None of the individual flavors are overwhelming.

Anti-strain is my favorite WK tea! I like it in the evening as a wind down tea. It’s not a sweet tea but it has a sweet aftertaste. It’s soothing and delicious.
