Dream Lodge Herbal Chew

Received this product as a very generous gift. At first I didn't know how to feel about it. But after the 3rd dip I realized the taste was amazing! Total relaxation whole chewing on it. Again I love this site and can't wait to order again!

Received this as a generous free sample and it is very nice. I often drink these ingredients in tea form before bed, but having this version of the herbs is great. I really get the hop flavor (one of my favorite bitter herbs) but the blend is very smooth. I'm feeling just as mellow as I do with a strong tisane. Maybe even a little more.

I've never tried tobacco chaw before, so I can't even attempt to compare it. All I can say is that its basically a 'candied' version of the loose blend. It's been soaked in a veg-based glycerin, and compacted and condensed (so don't be surprised when it arrives and its in a tin that's a third of the size of the loose blend; it's not at all light and fluffy, but it's still 32 grams). Chewing on it, it dissolves just a little bit, and kinda crunches with a kind of metallic tang as it does, kinda like cotton candy/fairy floss. That'll be the glycerin. It's not unpleasant, but it's still loose herbs, so sometimes you get pieces that feel like they're stuck behind your tongue or in the back of the throat. It might have been better to maybe try making pre-portioned chewable pieces, like in beeswax or even pine resin, in keeping with the bear theme.
