Before Tazo switched to what they call whole leaf sachets, this was one of my favorite of their blends. It remains so, and I definitely think it is improved, although not as much as some of them.
Like the original tea bag, I find this has just the right amount of chamomile for me--enough that I notice it but not enough that the blend is dominated by the muted bitter aftertaste that chamomile imparts.
And like the original, I find the aroma fruity and complex. I find the mint and lemongrass/lemon balm more boldly evident in this blend.
I find this tea is also rather comforting to drink...it makes me feel good, more so than straight chamomile, which I find has a sort of dampening effect on my mood and energy level (i.e. making me sluggish more than just relaxed).
