The flavor of my tea was what it is supposed to be and the price was better than I could pay in my city.Tastes like grass juice, I could care less for it but it’s the best allergy relief! I drink 2 large cups a day and my normally very bad pollen allergies are almost nonexistent this year. To the point that I don’t need any allergy medicine. I don’t think I will ever stop drinking it! I started drinking it about 2 weeks before the allergy season kicked in in my area, so I am not sure after how many days/cups the allergy relief comes.I have tried other varieties of Alvita organic tea an have always enjoyed. I believe they are a great price & taste for organic teas. I am a fan of nettle tea and was excited to try this one. My local groceries have stopped selling the brand I normally use and wanted to try this one. I received my package today, however the box was completely opened. The shipping package was not damaged, so the box was opened prior to sealing package. Unsure if this is a seller issue or Amazon distribution center issue. I was very disappointed to find the item was not eligible for return or replace though. The bag inside is still sealed, but I must admit I am leery to open & try, as it could be a different tea altogether. Again, the 3 stars is a reflection not of the the actual tea, but the packaging & return issue. Still undecided on whether I will try this tea or not. I would appreciate the company reaching out to fix the issue.The Nettle tea, for me, is a good investment and medicinally helpful. Please note, I said, for me, it works and is a staple in my cupboard at all times. It works, again, for me, as a natural anti-inflammatory and anti-histamine. I had lower back pain for a long time. I tried muscle relaxers, but that made it worse. My father gave this to me when I visited him in Europe in 2009. I've used this ever since as a calming, relaxing agent for both the pain, which I have only sporadically as most people do from various activities. I drink the tea 1-2 times a day January through March as an anti-histamine. Depending on the severity of allergies during this time of year, I will drink a cup of tea in the morning and evening. With less severity, once in the evening an hour before bed. I researched a lot of Nettle teas and liked this one the best for a lot of my own personal choices.I am not a doctor, so please use your own common sense and discretion as to what is right for you. A little honey with it for those who don't enjoy the earthy and herbal flavor of this tea. P.I ordered this product because I have terrible allergies and I read somewhere that this helps. Well, it made me tired all the time. I didn’t feel good at all. So I had to stop using it. Not for me.It is fresh and good to drink in the morning. I go to pee easier than before.I was able to find another brand that tasted much better of the exact same ingredient.It's a smooth, subtle flavored tea. I discovered this tea about 3 years ago and continue to drink it.Different,nice tho
