We keep about six herbal tisanes in the pantry: most rotate in and out, but this is one of two always-in-stock staples. Neither my wife nor I would say it’s one we are especially passionate about—rather, it’s one that we know will satisfy when nothing else sounds quite right. The floral and fruit aspects sufficiently balanced that it works in any weather and at any energy level. It’s the Ol’ Reliable of the Republic.
One of my favorite teas when I'm feeling a cold coming on. Floral notes, earthy relaxing depth.
Quickly has become one of my favorites! Complex flavor is excellent.
This tea is refreshing!
I have been drinking this tea for probably a year now. I love the fresh taste of the Elderflower tea with just a touch of honey added. This is not one of those “Flowery” teas.
This is a lovely, mentally soothing tea. Under-steep for more floral notes.
I've bought this a few times and really enjoy the flavor as well as the health benefits. I get sick a lot less since taking this tea a few times a week.
This is my go to tea to relax! The flavor & smell equal instant relaxation.
Love the taste and calming effect. I drink it before going to bed at night. And, of course, it doesn't have caffeine in it.
I love the Elderflower herbal tea. It has a nice light elderflower flavor and is an enjoyable tea.
I bought it before and I am very, happy,great,delicious, delicate taste .
The tea did not have much taste to me at all. I love floral teas and will frequently buy teas with elderflower. I could hardly taste the elderflower in it. In fact the whole tea was flat and had very little taste to me (very bland). My husband made me a second cup of tea and added sugar to it to see if it could bring out the flavors more. That did not help. I was unable to taste the tea (still bland). It was like drinking sweetened water.
The tea leaves exude a pleasant sweet aroma that yield a mildly floral tea after brewing. I enjoy drinking it for the health benefits and will add honey and lemon if I'm feeling under the weather.
R of T’s organic take on their time-honored health-boosting tea features a lightly sweet and fabulously fruity flavor with a faintly floral finish. Whether enjoyed as a hot cuppa or nicely iced, this tantalizing tisane is a soothing sipper that not only tastes great but keeps your immunity in tip-top shape!
Very light on its own but makes a great layering flavor!
Very light but notable elderflower- good on its own but I think I will use it with fruit tea to layer the flavors.
This tea reminds me of the elderflower juice my mom used to make. She added citric acid and I crave that, so I add a bit of lemon juice to the tea. I've also enjoyed it with some fresh ginger added. It is mild and sometimes I use 2 teabags to get more flavor. I like it a lot and would recommend it to anyone looking for an alternative to elderberry tea or juice.

Delicious and Healthy. This tea has been added to my daily beauty regime.
This tea tastes like grapes and honey to me (I do not add any sweetener). I was anticipating a floral taste but I taste fruit
This floral tea is one of my favorite teas when I'm looking for a caffeine-free cup on a chilly winter evening
I was nervous about trying this tea because I have been in love with all thing elderflower since I was little and have high standards. This tea did not disappoint. The floral smell is inviting and the flavor is exactly what I had hoped for. This tea has a permanent spot in my tea rotation!
I like it, but flavor is mild if that's what you like. Healthful properties are a big plus.
I am a fan of Elderberry flower, so this tea was a delight to drink. I would purchase it again
I am a firm believer in Elderberry as a immune booster so I try to drink a few cups a day. it is a little tangy but not overpowering. I don' t use sweetener but I think it would taste better with it. Probably good iced also
This tea has a great flavor and really soothes sore throats. I use it whenever I start to feel a cold coming on.
I like the teas. This last order was sent to my granddaughter in college and she likes them very well.
Delicious aroma and flavor. First time trying it and was delighted at how good it tasted.
The tea is for me because they always have runny noses and cold. It could be to that there are so many of them. It's great as a great preventative to illness like colds and flu.
A wonderful tea to support your immune system. Great if you are feeling under the weather to give your body a boost.
We love the entire super herb collection and this one is top three in our home
I will never be without this tea in our pantry.
For medicinal teas, I brew at least 15 minutes to draw out all of the healthful compounds. This time, while prepping for a detox bath, I actually brewed for over 30 minutes because the mason quart jar was just too hot to handle. I said all that to preface my sipping experience. This is a delightful tea with strong elderberry tones. I am also discovering just how much I enjoy green rooibos. I would have enjoyed a bit more elderflower, although, this might have been lost due to extended brewing time.
I was grateful to receive this as a sample, especially since I had planned to order it. I found it to be NOT good. It tasted like medicine to me, like a cough syrup. Just glad I hadn't purchased a full canister. But.... to each his/her own. Just not mine.
I'm not sure if this actually helps with immunity, colds, etc., but that's not why I love it. It is just so delicious. I love the delicate flavor.
I make a cup every day from fall to spring and put a dab of Manuka honey and a teaspoon of Dr. Mercola's organic elderberry syrup. Great taste and is a defense against illness! A must have!
This tea had a nice flavor. I could see that it might help the sinuses. It made mine tingle, which happens with some of the flavors with hibiscus and other ingredients.
I bought this thinking it would be good for winter headcolds. To my surprise it has become a family favorite iced tea. The flavor is amazing and it's not too strong.
I had elderflower soda on a recent trip to Europe and fell in love with the flavor. This tea replicates that beloved taste. I can't get enough of it and TROT is the only tea brand that has it. YUM!
I enjoyed this tea. Nice flavor. This is my go-to immunity tea.
?This tea has eased congestion and aided breathing during these unnerving few years when allergy symptoms and respiratory infections were a bit more common and anxiety-producing. I also enjoy the light, fresh, herby flavor.
Really nice floral flavor. I've tried it hot and iced and it's great both ways!
I love this one. Nice floral aroma and flavor, with just enough berry. This one is my favorite (for now).
This tea is perfect for the winter season. I drink a cup of elderflower or elderberry tea each day to keep my immune system feeling good!
I love this tea, the favor is great. My order arrived quickly
This tea is touted as aiding in respiratory function, and for me that is certainly the case. I suffer from COPD and a cup of the Elderflower tea in the morning and again before bed has helped my breathing immensely. The fact that it also tastes great is a big plus. I take mine with just a little honey. Since starting this regime, I find I no longer have to rely on my inhaler.
I enjoy with a touch of honey.
This Organic Elderflower SuperHerb tea is not only healthy but tastes delightful! It is my go to Tea when my stomach is upset. I find it very soothing and settling.
I read another review stating this helped with respiratory discomfort, so I gave it a try for a vocal cord injury impairing my breathing. I find it soothing and will continue to use it regularly. I find the subtle smell and flavor quite enjoyable.
I love the Elderflower green rooibos tea. I love the taste of Elderflower and I love the taste of green rooibos. Delicate and flavorful at the same time.
I love every tea I get from Republic.....except this one. I got it for its healing properties, which is why I drank it up. Nothing I would write home about.
Excellent
This is a tasty and health benefitting beverage. I highly recommend it!
I have seasonal allergies this helps my lungs feel better
Every tea I get is beyond my expectations. With this and the immunity tea I was able to get through the toughest times as a front line worker and keep my immunity system functioning through stressful time. I love this tea.
This tea has the pear and vanilla flavor that hits the spot! Sweet undertones that tickle the taste buds perfectly. A must if your tongue has a bent for the floral/fruit preferences.
This has a very strong pear scent and taste. If your taste buds run along the sweeter, fruity lines, then this is for you.
This is an unexpected delight. It has a flowery taste that is soothing and light. It is good warm or as iced tea. It is hard to describe a flowery taste; it is sweet but not overwhelming.
I found it difficult to get a good elderflower tisane. I saw this online and it turned out to be perfect. Elderflower alone is a bit bland, but this has just enough rooibos and touch of elderberry to wake up the flavor and be smooth, soothing, and yummy.
flavorful
awesome tasting herb, very refreshing, with no sugar. usually make a gallon with 18 bags, great till the last drop
Excellent!
I'm very picky and don't like overpowering teas. Sometimes red rooibos is too strong for me, but the green rooibos in here is perfect! I bought this for its immune building properties. The taste is delicate and natural and tastes earthy like a mild green tea, but still very pleasant. I don't need to sweeten it. Very happy with this!
I rarely give out 1-star reviews, but this tea was just upsetting. I wanted a nice floral elderflower tea like some I've had in the past, but this was just plain weird, to be honest. It tasted sour and vinegary, like it was kombucha or something. Not even remotely what I had anticipated or wanted. On top of that, there was a note of something that tasted like artificial flavoring instead of just letting the elderflower speak for itself. I'm super disappointed and now I've got a bag of tea I want nothing to do with.
Hard to describe...elderflower. Something just slightly beyond reach. Like a whisper or a promise.
So I only drink Herbal teas like rose hip and chamomile as well as fresh mint. That's not much of a selection so I was excited when a co worker told me about this site and the wonderful teas. She was not kidding. This tea is light but has some wonderful layered flavoring just had my first cup with some organic honey and the vanilla just comes out giving the tea a rich creamy flavor. Just wonderful. Can't wait to try more teas. I can only recomend this for any tea lover.
This is my goto tea. It is refreshing and delightful and lifts my spirits when I think of getting some mid-shift.
Love the elderflower tea with a spoon of honey in it when we have colds.
I like elderflower flavor, and this held up to my expectations. If you've never tried the flavor before, I guess people say it is kind of musky, kind of floral, kind of like lychee fruit?
I drink this tea everyday at work. It has a unique flavor like no other tea I have tried. I highly recommend trying it.
This is a light, delicious tea!
The delicate floral fragrance and flavor of elderflower tea is a unique treat. You can't help but feel elegant sipping this refined tea. I use two tea pads in my favorite porcelain mug (14 oz.) and I let it steep at least 5 minutes. I add a little milk and a dab of sugar.. although this tea is a delight simply plain.
In Switzerland and Austria we drink a lot of elderflower syrup mixed with seltzer and every cup of this tea is a reminder of that. Maybe an elderberry tea would be a great addition.
I don't know if Elderflower really is as beneficial as claimed here, but I do know this is our first choice drink for Colds and sore throats. Its very "smooth" for want of a bettwr word, and soothes as it goes down. Even the smell is comforting. We have a shelf full of tea and my kids grab this one themselves or ask for it by name when really sick, which I think speaks volumes as they wouldn't if it wasn't helping them somehow feel better. In fact, I just put it on autoship after having to tell a sick kid we'd run out. Not doing that again.
I LOVE it!!! Its my go-to morning tea. I can fix my breakfast while it is steeping and my mornings always go better with a little Elderberry!
Good Flavor for herbal tea
Best tea I've tried so far. I didn't even want to sip it; guzzle! Haha. USDA organic seal was important to me. More organic teas, please. :)
I really like this tea. I got it initially because my husband has breathing difficulties and I thought it couldn't hurt, which it didn't. However, it did have the very happy side effect of making us sleepy. It is great for nights when you need a little calm down.
Not my favorite. I love most of the green rooibos blends but find this one bland. The smell was wonderful upon opening the container, but the brew was just okay.
I purchased this tea for my boyfriend, who sometimes suffers from respiatory problems. He claims it really helps clear up his lungs. I tried some, also found it soothing, but must subtract a teapot for the flavor....rather weak if using just one bag. Interesting brew, however!
This tea has a slight taste of elderberry. It is smooth nice taste. I think it upset my belly a little, but I have a very sensitive stomach. I mixed it with some Vanilla White tea & that was awesome! It also did unstuff my nose, so that is a big plus :)
This has a pleasant fruity and delicate flavor. I didn't taste the rooibos flavor, which is a positive in my case. I like the idea of sipping elderflower/elderberry because it is supposed to help the body fight infection.
