This stuff is amazing. I've been drinking peppermint tea for a while, and tried fennel tea once, but didn't like the flavor. So I bought the Tummy Mint Tea with peppermint, fennel, and chamomile in it and the taste is not bad at all! Plus, I don't feel really bloated so I think the fennel is working. It is a very nice way to get all three calming teas in one.

Do you know since I got Heather's tea, I make it so strong now, that Tummy Mint hardly has any flavor to me anymore! LOL I've built up a tolerance, I guess! 
I did used to drink it all the time though. It works great! I'm glad it's helping you.

Well, unfortunately until I become unbroke and can order Heather's teas, the Tummy Mint will have to do.

Jennifer - Me too! I did not mean to make you feel 'broke'.  But, FYI - Heather's teas are actually SO MUCH cheaper than buying the Tummy Mint. At least it is here anyway. I think it is about $3.50 for a box of Tummy Mint, which is only 1.3 oz, but Heather's tea is $12.95 for 16 oz. So, the Tummy Mint is like $2.70 per ounce, where Heather's is about $0.81 per ounce.
Shell - I thought about using 2 bags at a time. I'll have to try it out to use up my old tea.

Oh that's okay!
Well, I bought a whole bunch of peppermint teas and tummy mint teas last month so as soon as I'm done with those (I think I have another couple weeks' supply) then I'm going to look into maybe ordering.

What's the best way for brewing the tea? I purchased a big bag and haven't cut into the pouch yet. I just realized that after I cut into the bag, I need a great method for storing it so it doesn't lose the potentancy.
I'm going to feel like a real twit if the big bag has individual bags inside :-)

Hi - I brew in a glass tea pot that has a strainer built into the lid, so I can just dump the loose leaves right into the pot. Then I just pour out of the pot into my glass for each cup.
For the big bag of tea, after I cut it open I transfer a week's worth or so to a metal tin to keep in the kitchen, and then I just keep the bag itself in a ziploc freezer bag so it stays fresh. If you're going through a small amount of the tea quickly (like a week's worth), you could keep it in a glass jar or tupperware container or something.

Hi Heather,
Do you have any suggestions of where I might be able to purchase your kind of tea pot?
I TRULY appreciate you and your efforts. I've gotten more relief reading your books and postings that I have with my gastroenterologist. THANK YOU.
Ken
