   It seems like I caught every virus that came around, no matter what I did to avoid them, until I found this tea. I’m such a believer that my husband (who never drinks hot beverages) now drinks it, too. I wasn’t crazy about the taste at first because it’s so different from my usual herbal teas but I added extra honey and that helped. Now I really like it. Also, it seems to work better as a preventive measure than to treat an illness. A large mug every morning really seems to work for me. I do still get sick occasionally but not nearly as often as I did before.

   I found this tea in the UK about 10 years ago (I had no idea it came from the US!)

   I’m usually not a big fan of herbal teas – but I find this one is perfect when I have a cold or feeling under the weather and don’t want to drink traditional black tea with milk.

   The taste is gingery but also sweet, with a hint of pepper, and thankfully without the overwhelming orange, menthol, or cinnamon flavours often found it herbal blends. The mix is unusual but it works. Might not be to everyone’s tastes but I think its delicious.

   It may just all be in my head (no pun intended), but I really think this tea works. I drink a couple of mugs a day when I have a cold, and I definitely feel better and less congested.
   
   While I agree with some other reviewers that the taste on its own leaves something to be desired, the effect is well worth it! The trick is to add a bit of lemon or honey and it’s completely palatable.

   I don’t get sick very often, but when I do it’s usually the sore throat/runny nose variety. This tea helps my throat feel much much better. It’s soothing to my stomach as well as warming, without making me overheat.
   
   This helps my body get all the mucous that otherwise would just be collecting in my throat, out, so that it doesn’t breed infection. Gross, but better than the alternative!
   
   The taste of the tea is weird. It smells like cough syrup, and even though basil and black pepper aren’t the main two ingredients, they are mainly what I taste.
   
   Usually I have one cup of “normal” tea standing by so that I can alternate if needed.
   
   It depends on your taste buds as to what flavors you will find stand out the most.
   
   Definitely get the sampler if you are unsure if you’ll like this one, because then at least you won’t get stuck with an entire box. Throat Coat tea is a good alternative. Both teas work the same, this one just tastes like black pepper instead of licorice.

   I think this actually works as an overall immune booster – if only I would remember that it is sitting under my desk.
