Beautiful (unnecessary?) packaging, ok taste [SEP] I was surprised at the packaging when this tea arrived.  It's pretty elegant, especially for tea.  I would expect a high-end candle to look like this, not a canister of tea!  It's 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's pretty bad and strong.  However, I bravely pushed on and made a cup.  It doesn't really smell that bad once it's steeped.  I steep it in 195 degree water for 7 minutes.  It does seem to take the edge off, but the flavor is really just okay.  At $68 (currently) for 50 tea bags, I think the packaging must be really expensive.  I usually drink Yogi Bedtime Tea because it's 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.
