Tried 9 versions of Herbal Tea — significant quality range

Out of curiosity I tried 9 different versions of Herbal Tea over a month, varying quality of the source each time. The range was significant. Prepared hot with care at the best end, the mental clarity was pronounced. At the worst end, genuinely mediocre.

The takeaway: the category isn't uniformly good. Getting to know what makes a version excellent versus average is worth the time. It made me a more intentional consumer rather than just grabbing whatever's available.
