Edit to original review:

I just noticed the warning not to use while pregnant or breast feeding. I have no idea if this applies to all the teas or only one of them, but you will want to take note of that. I'm not in that group, but don't want anyone buying this if they are and use my recommendation as the basis for buying it.

Original review:

I originally purchased this because they were out of the plain 'throat coat' and I couldn't find it locally.I was suprised to find that the sampler is actually quite good.

Now, keep in mind that this is MEDICINAL herbal tea, it's not made for taste, but it works amazingly well.

I bought it in a rush when my husband had a miserable cold and was out driving every day in 40-degree weather. He was really suffering.

I made him the throat coat and the cold remedy versions, heavily laced with honey so it was palatable and put them in his Oxo Travel Mugs.

They really reduced his suffering and made his long days a little less tedious.

Throat Coat is by far the best product. Be sure to steep it quite a while as recommended. The name says it all. You'll feel as if your throat is lined with velvet.

And there are no chemicals or drugs to interfere with the ability to drive or even think (antihistamines make me a whirling dervish & make the hubby pass out cold).

I sent a box of this over to my sister in law when she came down with a bug and she raved about it for weeks.

6 of them is a lot, but if you have a lot of family and especially kids who tend to get colds a lot, you'll use them.

Traditional Medicinals makes some very comforting teas. I keep a box of this tea sampler handy in case I get a cold. The "Throat Coat" tea is good to use when you first start feeling pain in your throat. The "Gypsy Cold Care" has hyssop in it which is antibacterial and antiviral. The "Echinacea Plus" tea also has echinacea which helps with sinus infections. When you are congested you can drink the "Breathe Easy" tea which has peppermint and eucalyptus in it. Some of the other ingredients in the teas include: licorice root, calendula flowers, ginger root, slippery elm, marshmallow root, wild cherry bark, fennel fruit, cinnamon bark, sweet orange peel, lemongrass leaf, elder flower, yarrow flower, rose hips, safflower petal and cloves. The teas all taste good and are very soothing.

~The Rebecca Review

"Throat Coat" is the best of the bunch with a nice licoricey flavor and "Breathe Easy" is my second favorite. The others could be served at a Klingon tea ceremony with no apologies. However, I mix in a little honey, well a lot of honey, and this makes for a rather pleasant tasting beverage. Since consuming the TM herbal brews twice daily now for two years, I have avoided contracting Rigelian Fever despite several outbreaks as well as the common cold and flu. Be sure to follow brewing instructions.

I've been sick with God-knows-what for a few weeks now and I've had a terrible cough and congestion.....this has helped me sooo much. This stuff will definitely relieve your symptoms. One note of caution....if you have high blood pressure it tells you on the package not to use the "throat coat" and the "breathe easy". I have borderline high blood pressure but I still went ahead and used it anyway. I think it's the fennel that raises the blood pressure but that's just my guess. Anyways I still highly suggest buying this stuff, its awesome and it even has a pleasant taste.

Traditional Medicinals has by far the most potent herbs in their teas. I love the throat coat, breath easy, all of them! Whenever I feel that I was short of breath I would take these and they totally help! The gypsy gold and the echinacea plus is amazing if you feel your throat is becoming sore they both coat your throat really nice! You cannot go wrong with these!
