This herbal tea is the first blend I've ever tried that tastes very similar (i.e. in the same style) as Celestial Seasoning's Sleepytime; it's so similar that I'm almost inclined to think of it as a knockoff or imitation.
The aroma is primarily spearmint, with a noticeable chamomile presence. Compared to Celestial Seasonings' sleepytime, the aroma is smoother and creamier, but also simpler and lacking in depth. Although the flavor is smooth in the sense of having little bitterness or astringency, there's a fair amount of sourness.
It's a toss-up about whether I prefer this one to Celestial Seasonings'; although the initial aroma made me think I would like this tea better, I'm more inclined to say that I actually like it less.
