Peppery overtones, smooth liquorice tinged with cinnamon in the middle and warming ginger beneath, this is a firecracker of a tea and one of my long-time favourites. I brought it over from Britain with me on my year abroad to Vancouver and brew up a cup whenever I need a boost. My acupuncturist recommended it for my time of the month, so when it comes around I can drink this by the pint!
This should be steeped for 2-3 minutes but I use a huge mug and have a habit of leaving the teabag in for this one, which suits it fine, though if you don’t like it strong you can stick to the recommended time. The complex, delicious flavours and instant warming feeling make this perfect as the cold nights draw in.
