I have to agree with the other reviews. Very fragrant, smells and tastes like it just came out of a garden. Not my favorite herb from SV, but pretty sure thats a personal preference as the product itself looks and smells great.
I bought damiana leaf after reading about it's aphrodisiac claims. Now I don't know all about that but, It does have a calming effect similar to chamomile just a little stronger. The flavor is very unique, like a combination of licorice, blackberry or black currant and lavender, It's really nice but most importantly it really has helped me with digestion and for That I give it 5 stars. I like to mix it with other herbal teas like a Luscious lemon, a rooibos or Tulsi Orange cranberry Ginger and it Really shines.
I wanted to try this damiana leaf for it's claim of an aphrodisiac. I don't know all about that but, I have to say it does have a somewhat calming effect kinda like chamomile but a little stronger. It has helped me with digestion and for that I give it a 5 star. It has a decent flavor somewhat of a licorice and lavender and it smells wonderful. I like to mix it with a lemon herbal tea like a Luscious lemon or lemongrass and rooibos and it taste Wonderful and very relaxing.
