Dandelion Wine, er, Tea


Product provided for review.  All opinions are my own.
Hello, Fireflies!

"I like coffee, I like tea, I like the Java Jive, and it likes me!"  I enjoy a cup of tea with honey in the evenings, and especially one that helps soothe my nerves and my tummy.  I've recently been enjoying this unusual tea - Organic Dandelion Root Tea with Hibiscus and Cinnamon by Kiss Me Organics.
Kiss Me Organics Organic Dandelion Root Tea with Hibiscus and Cinnamon
As a kid growing up in the 1970's, we all imagined ourselves to be hippies and made salads of dandelions that grew in our suburban yards.  Well, once, maybe.  Dandelion greens are pretty bitter, though very healthy.  Though I prefer all my teas sweetened, this tea isn't overly bitter by itself.  The root, from which this tea is made, is rich in vitamins and minerals (A, C, D and B-complex, Iron, Potassium and Zinc,) and is supposed to aid with digestion, as well as be a tonic for the liver.

I don't know about the liver part, yet, though some days I do like to give my liver a workout, so the idea of preventive maintenance is pretty appealing.  I do think this tea aids in digestion, though.  The first time I drank it, it made my food digest very quickly, but after that, my system settled down.
Kiss Me Organics Organic Dandelion Root Tea with Hibiscus and Cinnamon  - about Hibiscus and Cinnamon
I've heard about the effects of cinnamon on blood sugar, though I believe it needs more research.  Hibiscus gives this tea a pleasant subtle floral flavor and a slight pink hue.  Hopefully, it will help with my blood pressure, as it's been a little on the high side lately.

My Mr. Tea is pretty relaxed, though, don't you think?  Just chillaxin' in my monkey mug.  He knows that this tea is naturally caffeine-free.

My nailart today is my interpretation of the box art - a gradient of blue to green (Wet 'n Wild Wear Skinny Jeans and Tree Hugger) with dandelion flowers painted with China Glaze Sunshine Pop, Lemon Fizz, and Zoya Arizona)
