Okay, after just reading the latest newsletter, I have decided to go with Heather's brand fennel tea instead of the grocery store brand I've been buying (cuz it's cheaper).  Also, will buy her peppermint tea as long as I'm ordering!
I can't decide if I should buy the tea bags or the loose leaf. Do you guys have a preference? Is one stronger than the other? More economical?
I apologize because I know I asked this before...but I can't find my responses!

The bags are awesome! I only have the peppermint, and I too tried a less expensive brand first. There is NO comparrison! Worth the money! That peppermint is sooo calming! I'm going to order fennel next time too.

Thanks Kim. Do you only have to use one bag for it to work? Now I use 2 or even 3!

I only use one bag and steep it for 10-15 minutes.

I use Heather's bags too. The tea tastes better than the bulk seeds I bought at the grocery store. I steep mine for at least 10 minutes, and the tea itself has a mild licorice flavor (IMHO)

i bought heathers fennel tea once--and am wishing i bought more! i bought the bags [they seemed easier and less mess] someone told me, for them to work, you need to drink one cup a day for a little bit [try a week to get started] i guess you start to notice a difference when your body has been tasting it longer then a day. definately get the bags!!

I originally ordered some peppermint tea from an online healthfood supplier...organic ect...to see if it helped. It was warm and tasted good, but I never saw a difference. I ordered Heather's tea when it came out in bags, and there is a HUGE difference in quality! When I'm cramping, I can tell a difference if I have a cup of tea.
I will say this...I use several other supplements not just the tea. I only use the tea when I'm hurting or get very severe spasms. It truly calms things down. I've been holding off on the fennel because of the taste, but since gas and bloat are my stated enemies, I'm going to try it anyway. I think I can get past the taste if it helps.
The QUALITY of Heather's tea is bar none, and I'm not a supplement junkie. It is amazing at the difference when compared to others.

yes i was surprised at just HOW MANY teabags came in my tin of fennel tea when i ordered it in december. i couldnt believe how big the teabags were!! the fennel is alright as far as taste--but drink it hot! when its cold it tastes even more funky
when i have cramps too i reach for tea and a heating pad. as of late in an attempt to control this awful C, ive been sticking *just to* peppermint and chamomile. only with the pepp, i never notice a big pepp-step in my symptoms so-to-speak. perhaps ill try heathers pepp tea next time i order. thanks
