Nakazen Grandma is one of my go-to afternoon/evening herbal teas. It yields huge rich flavors when brewed according to instructions (don't skimp) with many subtle complexities. The guava and loquat provide non-overbearing citrus elements while the safflower and mushroom provide savory. Finally, one of the other ingredients provides some kind of aromatic eucalyptus / bay leaf flavor which, again, is very subtle. I had a similar reaction as Cameron regarding the appearance in my case as if someone was sweeping their patio and decided to package it and sell as tea. It cracks me up every time I measure out a pot!

I lover herbal teas, but the ones I usually find are more on the sweet side. This blend has a very nice earthy, roasted taste that's a nice change of pace! It's almost hard to believe it's an herbal. I would recommend it for people who say they don't enjoy that branch of tea- it's wonderfully restoring on a cold night and I recently brewed it for ice tea, very refreshing.
I brewed it for a about 15 minutes in a tea pot. If I had one critique it's that a long brew is absolutely required and I still thought it wasn't very strong. Still, a subtle tea is just what you want sometimes and a positive is that so far I have found it impossible to over brew.

Well, I´m not very much into herbal teas and this one is blended with 8 herbal among other things with Japanese medlar. I was a bit skeptical
My parameters were:.../>
10g, 450ml, pitcher, 95°C 100°C
30sec, 1 min, 2 min, 3 min
I got a very pleasant golden yellowish liquor of this tea with a mild body that had hints of spicy and a slightly sweet aftertaste. There were a multilayered taste, but I´m unable to name these flavor components. No bitterness at all.
And even cold was this tea very delicious.

This one literally looks like I scooped up a handful of debris off the forest floor and put it into a cup – it’s large dried leaves, twigs, and these huge shiny seeds that resemble small acorns. It mostly smells like musty autumn leaves with a touch of herbal spicy note. I did a 10 minute steep in boiling water.
Brewed, it smells somewhat spicy, maybe similar to ginger? And that autumn leaf smell is also present. I can also taste that hint of spice, and it kind of reminds me of clove? Maybe with a little ginger too. This tea is quite mild and it has a bit of a roasted flavor, which is nice. It reminds me in some ways of Whispering Pines’s Elder Grove, but without the berry flavor. The aftertaste reminds me of roasted coffee beans. There’s also something here that’s similar to licorice root, because I’m getting a slight sweet aftertaste, but it’s very mild and doesn’t bother me here. Overall, I like this one a lot, which is rather unexpected considering how odd I thought it would be.
