Additional notes: Interestingly, the manufacturer has put images of the ingredients to introduce consumers to their outlook. I wish they would add an explanation of their benefits to each herb.

After its opening, the box contained a strong, almost hard tolerating herbal aroma when I opened it.

It was a surprisingly lovely brew. I enjoyed every sip of this tea, but I could not detect liquorice root at all. My experience shows that every tea that contains liquorice root, has a pleasant sweetness streaming through the drink. Besides, it seemed to me unusual that tea left my mouth watering after drinking it.

Bags 5/5: Pyramidal-shaped teabags with a string and a tag at the end. I only wished they would be put into sachets individually.

Package 4/5:  The Manufacturer has used blue colour to make this box appear relaxing and tranquil.

Purchased: Lidl/Shelf/Cartandale/England

Manufacturer: Mokates SA/Poland

Additional notes: I could feel a strong peppermint and sweet aroma when I opened the box.

Also, it is interesting to learn that this tea contains fat and fatty acids.

The flavour was very ordinary highlighting camomile only and my conclusion was that if you want to get good tea to promote sleep – go for camomile tea. You do not need to spend a lot of money to get an exclusive tea that can promote sleep.

The manufacturer recommends the tea brew for up to 10 minutes. I assume they have meant this tea as a remedy, not as a tea for relaxation.

Interestingly, the manufacturer has put images of the ingredients to introduce consumers to their outlook. I wish they would add an explanation of their benefits to each herb.

Additional notes: By opening the tea box, I could feel a strong herbal aroma, fresh, especially mint.

This tea is a wonderful brew. I liked its strong freshness in the aftertaste. I loved that tender presence of liquorice.

Also, it is interesting to learn that this tea contains fat and fatty acids. This is the first tea where the manufacturer specifies what ingredients they have used calling actual names.

Smell 5/5:  Vivid cherry, reminds me of cherry jam

Flavour 4/5: It has a mild cherry flavour, but not sweet. Sour aftertaste. Quite watery.

 Colour 4/5: Dark red

 Deposit: Yes

 Infused: 10 min

 Caffeine-free: Yes

Tea type: Fruit

Manufacturer's description: Tea bags have been made from a material that does not affect the taste and aroma of tea. The three-dimensional pyramid enables better circulation of water which ensures the fruit flavour is released.

Manufacturer's advice: Put a teabag into a cup and pour over 100˚C water 200ml. Brew it for 5 minutes.

Storage: Keep in a dark and dry place

 Price /5: -/20 bags

Weight: 40g

Bags 4/5: The bags are pyramid-shaped appearing very stylish.  However, they have not been sealed off in separate bags as Efor tea bags. The manufacturer has almost made it perfect.

Package 5/5:  The manufacturer has thought a lot about impressing a client by making a lovely design lid in dark green colour placing the tea brand on it with bold white and beautiful letters, but on the box, we can see burgundy colour tasty cherries with pyramid shaped tea bag
