I have been a long time fan of Olbas oil. It is indispensable during allergy and colds seasons and helpful on plane flights too. So I had to try the tea. The good news: it doesn't taste like the Olbas pastilles. The bad news: because it is instant tea, the herbs have been processed with sugar and transformed into little granules. That was a surprise and I would have preferred something without sugar. That said, it is a pleasant drink and soothing when one has a stuffy nose.
