Truth in advertising...Apr 15, 2010
By Judy K. Polhemus
"Book Collector"
When a company states something outrageous on a product's packaging, I want it to be true--or else why say it? Here's the statement, which concludes a brief descriptive paragraph of Tazo Calm's delicate complexity: "There's also a bit of magic involved, but it's really nothing we can talk about."
I love such bold, yet subtle braggadocio--"a bit of magic involved" just sets up, well, a strong mental suggestion (reaction?). Since I'm of the fey people, I had to taste this magic! Had to! I was/am not disappointed! I love this tea. Allow me to count the ways:
*Since it is herbal tea, milk or cream is not necessary, nay insulting. Just as a drop of water opens up the complexity of a good scotch, a very small amount of sugar/sweetener opens up the complex subtlety inherent in this blend of chamomile, hibiscus, lemongrass, rose petals, blackberry leaves, licorice root, sarsaparilla, lemon balm leaf. Not surprisingly, then, Tazo Calm suggests a fine, subtle scotch on the tongue. I love this connection with my favorite spirit!
*Even the color of the brewed tea appears subtle. To begin, there's the regular brown color of tea. Add a hint of rose from rose petals, and the magic (in this case) is explained. Perhaps...
*In addition to the subtlety of scotch, there's also a hint of exotic. What has a more exotic flavor than blackberries (my favorite fruit flavor)?
Perhaps Tazo Calm doesn't present a history to other tea drinkers, but Tazo and I--we connect, oh we connect (as George Castanza would say) Yet another connection!
Tazo Calm also works as a relaxer. How and why, I don't know, maybe the chamomile? At any rate, Tazo Calm is a wonderful tea to have in the tea section of your pantry, at the ready for those uncomfortable times when sleep eludes. My tea is kept in its own separate drawer.
So, really, why does Tazo Calm work? I think it's that "magic" at play....

Nice Chamomile TeaSep 15, 2006
By O. Brown
"Ms. O. Khannah-Brown"
**** Tazo's Calm Herbal Infusion is a nice chamomile tea. I taste the chamomile and some flavorings, and they are not unpleasant, just hard to pin down as to what they are besides the chamomile. In general I'm not a big fan of tea with flavorings added, preferring the subtleness and authentic taste of the real thing.
The ingredients in Calm are: chamomile flowers, hibiscus flowers, spearmint, lemongrass, rose petals, blackberry leaves, safflowers, peppermint, sarsaparilla, lemon balm, licorice and natural flavors. It is caffeine-free!
Tazo is an interesting company that makes only super premium teas. They are socially responsible, based in Portland, and have the motto, "The Reincarnation of Tea". Tazo is owned by Starbucks. Their web site is fun and quirky, with a Zen-type focus, definitely worth checking out. It is unclear, though, from their web site, how many of their ingredients are organic or kosher, and they do use some "natural flavors" in their teas--this wording seems a little vague for a super premium tea.
On the paper tea packet, Tazo writes, "a soothing blend of chamomile blossoms and other relaxing herbs." On their web site, Tazo describes the flavor profile of Calm as "creamy, floral, minty, toasty, sweet, honey-like. As the name gently implies, Tazo Calm has a lovely floral bouquet with an apple-like flavor and distinct toasty notes. Naturally sweet in a nice light way, with a smooth finish". Tazo describes the aroma as "minty, hay like, rose". I don't taste all of these various flavors, but I do taste the chamomile, and it is fine, not overwhelming or as artificial tasting as several of the other Tazo teas I've sampled.
I would rate this tea, and Tazo in general, as good---better than premium teas like Stash or Celestial Seasonings---but not as good as Numi. I'm soooooo spoiled by Numi teas, which is why Tazo Calm gets only four stars. ****
Calm TeaNov 01, 2008
By K. McPherson
"God is good!"
The tea was exactly what I ordered, and arrived fresh and in good shape. I thought I would be saving money via a combined tea shipping order, but it came separate, so it turned out the shipping was as expensive as the one box of tea--that's not the seller's fault-it was mine, not understanding that Amazon would do it that way.

Lacks subtlety--an average herbal tea.Mar 16, 2006
By Snowbrocade I love the description of this tea--egyptian chamomile and moroccan rose blossoms--I wish I could taste or smell either of these flavors!! This tea mainly tastes like mint and hibiscus--neither of which is particularly soothing in my book. As compared to the wonderfully complex African Red Bush or the dazzlingly subtle Lotus, this one is not in the same league!! A middle of the road herbal tea.
