Novel idea to have St John’s Wort in a loose leaf form, makes a nice tea that totally relaxed me.Don’t follow the instructions on the packet which says to use freshly boiling water… just like when you make green or matcha tea use ‘off’ boiled water or the tea will be very bitter. I have a kettle with 4 temp settings so heated the water to 90 degrees and poured the water in a mug first, waited 30 seconds then popped the tea in via a metal tea ball. Very enjoyable cuppa. Leave the tea to brew at least 4-5 minutes. excellent value bag by the way, pleasantly surprised
