beautiful unnecessary packaging ok taste [SEP] i was surprised at the packaging when this tea arrived it is pretty elegant especially for tea i would expect a high end candle to look like this not a canister of tea it is beautiful but again for tea the box is nice with a soft thick elastic band to keep the top on the jar is a light purple glass with a plastic lid they did slap a warning about the horrific smell when you open the cap it is pretty bad and strong however i bravely pushed on and made a cup it does not really smell that bad once it is steeped i steep it in degree water for minutes it does seem to take the edge off but the flavor is really just okay at currently for tea bags i think the packaging must be really expensive i usually drink yogi bedtime tea because it is readily available at the grocery store and i love the way it smells and tastes while i think this welleco tea seems to be more effective i really would prefer to just drink a cup of nice tasting tea before bed
