Edit to original review: I just noticed the warning not to use while pregnant or breast feeding. I have no idea if this applies to all the teas or only one of them, but you will want to take note of that. I'm not in that group, but don't want anyone buying this if they are and use my recommendation as the basis for buying it. Original review: I originally purchased this because they were out of the plain 'throat coat' and I couldn't find it locally.I was suprised to find that the sampler is actually quite good. Now, keep in mind that this is MEDICINAL herbal tea, it's not made for taste, but it works amazingly well. I bought it in a rush when my husband had a miserable cold and was out driving every day in 40-degree weather. He was really suffering. I made him the throat coat and the cold remedy versions, heavily laced with honey so it was palatable and put them in his Oxo Travel Mugs. They really reduced his suffering and made his long days a little less tedious. Throat Coat is by far the best product. Be sure to steep it quite a while as recommended. The name says it all. You'll feel as if your throat is lined with velvet. And there are no chemicals or drugs to interfere with the ability to drive or even think (antihistamines make me a whirling dervish & make the hubby pass out cold). I sent a box of this over to my sister in law when she came down with a bug and she raved about it for weeks. 6 of them is a lot, but if you have a lot of family and especially kids who tend to get colds a lot, you'll use them.
