I originally purchased this tea when I had a sore throat and found it to be very soothing. I'm not a big tea drinker, but the lemon and ginger flavors aren't too overpowering in my opinion, making it not terribly harsh for that particular use.Fast forward a few months and my wife had a somewhat persistent cough brought on by a virus and exacerbated by the cold, dry air. She absolutely loves this tea. So much so that I ordered 6-20 packs. She really enjoys the flavor, but it almost immediately stops her cough every time. I tend to make it with a slice of lemon and some honey, then leave the tea bag in there for a few minutes. The bag tends to be fine to reuse for another cup as well, which it makes it an even better product. If you like really strong tea, then I wouldn't recommend reusing. Otherwise, it works great.Soothing, good flavor, and great for cough and sore throat. Good, good stuff. Both from a tea and non-tea drinker.
