Vitpilbarkste

The salicin content is what sold me, since I wanted something gentler than popping an aspirin every time my back aches. Taste is bitter and earthy, so I add a little honey, but twenty minutes of steeping gets me a decent cup that actually takes the edge off by evening.

Steeped a bag for about eight minutes and the earthy, slightly bitter taste grew on me by the second cup. The naturally occurring salicin is exactly why I switched to this over popping pills for everyday aches.

I was skeptical about trying a tea for occasional discomfort, but the naturally occurring salicin caught my attention. A cup about twenty minutes after dinner takes the edge off nicely, and the gentle bitterness is actually pretty soothing.
