An Odd Tea
Celestial Seasonings "Tension Tamer" Tea: eleuthero, peppermint, cinnamon, ginger, chamomile, lemon grass, licorice, catnip, tilia flowers, natural lemon flavor, other natural flavors, hops, vitamins B6 and B12.
Two ingredients I'd never previously heard of, two ingredients I never expected to find in tea, and an inexplicably odd combination of flavors. Nonetheless delicious, although weird.
Random information, from the article on catnip: The volatile oil in catnip contains the monoterpene, nepetalactone, which is similar to the valepotriates found in valerian, a more commonly used herbal sedative. [emphasis mine]
