I buy this for my sister. It brings back childhood memories of wild elderberries that grew near our grandparents farm house. I like her drinking it because it has anti bacterial properties and helps with edema. She is diabetic and has lost one toe and has had a sore on her foot for more than a year...I feel the tea helps on those medical levels as well as making her feel good. Green hills gives me excellent product and service. One time a package was returned because I mis-addressed it and they got it back here quickly. I'm very satisfied with them and always recommend them to friends.
