I absolutely love this flavor! Hands down the best I've tried!
I was hoping for a bit more maple flavor. The dandelion base was a bit strong.
One look at the packaging and the herbs inside speaks of quality. The herbs were exactly what was needed after taking the class. Have tinctures aging and can’t wait for them to mature. Will definitely order from the company again
Since I have been drinking this nightly, i hsve been sleeping better, not waking up as much, hot flashes at night much less. Feel better overall. Has a pleasant taste too.
I love this magazine and look forward to it every quarter. They are as pretty and nice as a published book, and I keep them all for referencing the beautiful photos, recipes, and ideas.
I made my own elderberry syrup from this kit, and we take a little each day. Really feel it boosts our immune system.
I ordered a scoby and made another batch of kombucha. So easy, and I can’t wait until it’s ready to drink! Love Farmhouse Teas!
My mom's taste buds seem to not appreciate different kind of teas. I guess she didn't take the hint of trying to drink healthier and better tasting teas than overrated Lipton. Gonna buy some for myself here soon that's for sure
My order was packaged beautifully with a special surprise. I received quality herbs and am looking forward to my next order.
I have to say - I think this is the best magazine you have printed so far. I look forward to them each season.
Thank You!
