I tried the dandelion root tea today. I also tried the peppermint tea.. other than the peppermint smell that tasted exactly the same to me. The milk,thistle tea tasted the same as the other two. To me, all herbal tea taste like grass And I’m assuming you’re not supposed to put sweetener in them right? I did two of them, but not in the peppermint.. The only hot tea I really like is plain black tea like you make iced tea out of What am I missing?

I think you’re asking a question a lot of us have asked ourselves over the years about herbal tea.

You have to let herbal tea steep for awhile to let the flavors come out. I like spiced herbal teas weak but flavoral if you let them steep.

Some of the peppermint tea has that flavor to me, but most of my herbal teas are delicious. Especially the cinnamon tea and the chocolate teas!

I like some different types of tea but most herbal teas just taste really weak to me. I never thought they tasted like grass, but none really seem to taste that great.

All herbal tea tasting like grass is so real, the milk thistle one sounds like a lawn in a cup... i put honey in mine and it's fine, no rules there, fwiw.
