The Republic of Tea GET RELAXED - Hearbal Tea, 36 Tea Bags

This is my new favorite tea to drink in the evenings. I've been really wanted something warm in the evenings, and I'm always craving something sweet, so I'll make a cup of de-caff tea or coffee, and this tea is so tasty! If you like herbal tea, that is. I do fine that it helps me shred the stress from the day and just chill before bed. This will be a staple in my pantry.

I started drinking this because I was not allowed to have black tea due to dietary restrictions. Now they've restrictions have been lifted, and this is still my preferred tea. The taste of tea is very subjective so I can't recommend or not recommend this to anyone else but they say it's a relaxing tea and it must be because I reach for it a lot more often than I reach for other teas. Except chrysanthemum tea, which I know for a fact is very relaxing for me but tastes like hell

Idk if it actually relaxes me - I doubt it, but I love the rose and the overall taste. I’ve bought many of those and will continue to buy it. Delicious and no fake tasting ingredients.

I love the be well tea line that Rebublic of Tea has come out with. Let me preface this review by saying that at first I was skeptical, but all of the teas from this line that I have tried are surprisingly true to their claims; none of them are simply a marketing gimmick. So far, I have purchased "Get charged", "Get relaxed", and "Get Smart". But I digress, on to "get relaxed". This tea is somewhat calming. If you are prone to panic attacks, then this isn't exactly a miracle tea. Also, a lot of the relaxation I have found with OTHER calming teas comes partially from sipping on them slowly with a nice book, savoring the flavor. However, the taste of this tea is absolutely disgusting (the only one that tastes worse is "Get smart"). BUT that is because although I love the scent of florals, I cannot stand floral flavors, and this tea is dominated by notes of rose and lavender. I have found that I receive the most relaxation if I do take the time to sip this tea slowly (although painstaking). But usually if I have had a somewhat stressful day, I'll just go ahead and plug my nose and down this quickly and it still does calm me down a bit. That being said, I dislike the flavor so much that I doubt I will repurchase. In summation/final thoughts: If you like and/or don't mind floral-tasting things, then I would highly recommend this tea. It is calming to a point, especially if you take the time to sip slowly and smell the aromas. However, if you really don't like the taste of lavender, roses, etc, I would say this is a miss. Also, if you have problems with severe anxiety attacks, I would recommend consulting a doctor before trying to use this in combination with or as a replacement for any sort of medication you might be taking. SIDE NOTE: Although this has nothing to do with "get relaxed", if you are interested in trying new types from this tea line, I swear up and down by the "Get charged" tea. I have difficulty focusing, and I've practically stopped taking my ADD medication because the tea (without caffeine!!!) helps me focus almost as well without any bad side affects (but only drink one serving if you try it--any more caused me some stomach pain/light-headedness). I find the "get smart" tea does almost just as well, but not quite; I ALWAYS end up going for "get charged" because it tastes a million times better. Also, with "get charged", it really is great for when you know you should go to the gym but just aren't feeling up to it--it really gives you that energy that makes you ready to get up and go! :) ***I find it important to note that my review of "get relaxed" is based upon when I have NOT had "get charged", caffeine, or ADD medication that day. I do not like the idea of mixing "uppers" with "downers" and will only drink "get relaxed" if I have not had any stimulants and am solely anxious from environmental stressors.

This is very very impressive as a way to try to relax. I have an anxiety disorder, plus PTSD, so trying to relax during the day and to relax enough to sleep is an ongoing problem. This tea is actually much more relaxing than even a glass of wine or a beer, without the downside of either. I am also hypersensitive to chemicals in anything, and this triggers no bad reaction. Thank you, Republic of tea! I am very impressed and will always have it on hand from now on. I don’t know which ingredient is making the difference, but I’d rather not guess. This works and hallelujah. Finally something that works.
