I almost gave it 4 stars. I think it just needed more main ingredient. We love the flavor and it does have a mild soothing effect. It is a nice smelling and tasting tea. I want to say that I felt the effects, but I needed to give it an extra kick. The all smiles effect is primarily just the blue lotus extract. I say, buy some additional blue lotus extract and dump it in the tea.I am a fan of blue lotus flowers and leaves, etc... and I will tell you it isn't the kind of thing that gives me a very noticeable effect unless in a higher dosage . They gave me a free sample of the blue lotus extract with my order. It went right in the tea to make it extra smiles. The 9.95 price is only slightly higher than other loose tea i have purchased but beings that it contains the blue lotus its worth a try. If I reorder, I will get the additional extract to add to the loose tea.
