Tension Tamer is top notch, my favorite CS tea alongside Candy Cane Lane (but for different reasons). The flavor is pleasantly strong and spicy, yet still mellow and relaxing, very befitting its advertised role as a comfort food of the tea world. This is best consumed in front of a fireplace or under a blanket on a cold night. It's my second-favorite sickness tea, behind pure peppermint, but I drink it a lot when healthy too.

Have you ever had a casserole, pie or soup so balanced of many ingredients that it tastes like none of them, but instead, has its own unique flavor? That's Tension Tamer. The whole is better than the sum of its parts. I don't know what eleuthero by itself should taste like, but it seems to be the right puzzle piece to hold chamomile and mint in check so that neither dominate (and I do like both chamomile and mint by themselves).
