Felt really nauseous earlier and like I was going to puke. I haven't eaten anything since about three because of how sick I feel. I finally remembered my Loki tea, Cara McGee's blend. It's got jasmine and mint in it. I drank two cups of it and now I feel better. Still sick but not quite as nauseous. Tea really does cure everything
I got a couple of samples at the sherlock party I went to so I figured I would do a tiny tiny review of both.

Loki tea
The smell of the loki tea is so amazingly strong. I can smell the tea across from the room (the tea was sealed in a ziploc bag too). I personally really enjoyed the smell of the Loki tea because it's this minty smell that is just divine. When I made the tea, the smell changes slightly and it became this somewhat sweet smell that I love. I can't quite explain that smell, but I like it a lot.
As far as the taste of the tea goes, it was not a strong as I expected. I thought it would be very minty but when I drank it, I realized that it's really not that minty. I enjoyed it. it wasn't too strong but it's not too light either.
Overall, I really enjoyed the Loki tea. I always enjoyed minty tea so this one is really not an exception. I'm really happy with the sample and I will most likely buy a bag in the future
Lestrade tea
The smell of this tea was really great. As I sniff through the bag, it has this somewhat sweet smell to it. I was really excited because the smell was really great. I can't quite describe the smell (terrible at describing things)
The taste of this particular tea was actually a bit disappointing. It was a lot lighter than I expected and I can hardly taste it. It might be I didn't put enough tea leaves in there but it was very very light. Most of the flavor came from the smell of the tea. The tea wasn't bad but it's just way too light for my taste
It is a fragrant blend that lingers with you long after you've had your last sip. The taste is not very assertive, though. And I suppose, if you wanted, you could sweeten it, but I prefer my teas plain.
The Loki Blend is perfection, btw. I may have had four cups already. And I have not stopped talking about it. It is everything I ever wanted in a tea. Thank you, Cara!
