Teapigs Happy Tea With Lemon Balm, 15 Tea Bags 37.5g

The name on the box is not a promise, as no tea can make you happy on demand, but as a cup this one is very well built. Eleven organic ingredients could easily turn muddy; instead it stays bright and legible: lemon balm and citrus peel give a clear uplifting top, organic apple rounds it with natural sweetness, and a quiet warmth of ginger, cinnamon and clove sits underneath with a faint earthy turmeric ground note. Nothing fights; it is the rare multi-ingredient blend where you can actually taste the structure. Caffeine-free, so it works morning or afternoon equally, and it is light and clean rather than heavy. It is more interesting than a plain lemon-balm bag because of that spice layer, but if you want a single pure note this will read as busy, the Teapigs Pure Lemongrass is the cleaner choice there. A honey swirl lifts the citrus nicely. Take it as a pleasant, fragrant everyday infusion and ignore the mood framing entirely.
