LiberTEAS has done it again! She sent me a tea that I wanted to try before I even read a tasting note on it. She’s that good!
TeaEqualsBliss logged this a few days ago, and the combination of cinnamon and hibiscus sounded so wrong it could be right. And, for me, this is full of win. It’s like a hibiscus cider in both smell and taste. Yes, the hibiscus is strong here (I steeped for 8 rather than my usual 10), but the cinnamon and licorice kind of calm the tart down. Reminds me somewhat of wassail (or, rather, the wassail they served at my college’s Madrigal dinner).
Again, for me, this is full of win. LiberTEAS, thank you so, so much!!!

I was kinda surprised it had licorice in it…normally licorice is a deal breaker for me. I can taste it, but it’s good in this one!
for me the licorice and cinnamon are the saving grace of this particular tea. LOL I am so glad that I was able to send this to someone who would really appreciate it!
Glad it worked for you!!! :)

I miss it already. Must get some when my cupboard’s under better control!
