Whole foods usually carries Altiva fennel tea for about $3.50. Or, you could buy a small bottle of fennel in the spice/herb aisle and smash the seeds and put them in a tea ball to test the taste factor.
Also, you could buy a fennel bulb in the produce aisle and cook it to test the taste.
I really wouldn't care what it tasted like as long as it worked for gas and bloating! Add a little rice milk or sugar or stevia....or add another flavored herb tea to help the taste. I happen to like the taste.
