This tea is amazing. It takes me back to my childhood with it’s distinct taste and scent of both aniseed and liquorice root. I grew up in the Netherlands where you can get “sticks” of liquorice root (zoethout) from the candy store. It looks like a brown twig of wood and you chew on it to extract the flavour. The aniseed in this tea reminds me of another Dutch treat “gestampte muisjes” which is a sweet powdery topping you can put on your sliced bread. The tea is sweet and full of flavour. I drink it when I crave something sweet without the calories.

Flavors: Anise, Licorice, Sweet
