Review of Upton Tea Imports Chardwar Estate FTGFOP1 Assam Organic by Trailesque

This is a pleasant little herb tea that is probably worth grabbing on sale, but not as tasty as a few of Teekanne's many other offerings. Calm and Relax has a long ingredients roster that reminds me a lot of Traditional Medicinals or Yogi teas: cinnamon, orange leaves, rooibos, licorice, honeybush, chamomile, lemon balm, apple mint, peppermint, lemongrass, hops, and blackberry leaves.
