Not sure if you don't mix up Cordyceps with Cistanche xd
I fukin love the taste of Cordyceps, it's literally my favourite of all herbs I have, but I absolutely hate the taste of Cistanche it's disgusting xD

I don't notice the herbs in general, the only one for me was Shiljait, which gave me a hangover type feeling at start, too horny, but depressed and anxious with huge sugar/food cravings. But that was the first 3times afterwards not anymor.
