I had one whole bag of this tea stashed away in an “herbal tea box” for my mom, only for her to declare years later that she doesn’t like “spicy” tea. Fine, then. Tell me that years ago, I get to drink it fresh. Tell me that now? I get to drink it stale. sigh
I was actually impressed with how well this kept. It’s probably because the inside has a plastic-like coating, which means it seals out the air better than just paper wrappers. Tasted pretty darn good, freshness-wise.
Taste-wise, it was also pretty darn good. Orange-y, spicy, yummy. It was exactly what I thought it would be: a cinnamon-and-spice (not quite a chai) tea with a hint of orange peel. Bingo.
Verdict: if I was out to buy an herbal tea in a bag, this just might be it. I really like it.
