I bought this about 2 years ago and stopped using it. I just made a cup. There is something in the flavor and aroma that I strongly dislike; it could be the green rooibos or it could be the licorice root. I try to avoid licorice root as chronic use can cause glycyrrhizin to accumulate in the body, according to some sources, and can cause elevated blood pressure and elevated cortisol levels. I’m not a medical researcher so I have no idea if that is true or not, but just disliking it is enough to toss it. I am now careful to not buy ANY tea with licorice root, because, that’s really a cop out in making the tea sweeter instead of using other more expensive ingredients to increase the flavor.
Flavors: Artificial, Burnt, Chemical

I’m not a fan of licorice root either, I just find the way it coats my mouth so cloying. >.<
Yes, i wish the manufacturers would understand it’s just not necessary!
I sometimes have issues with high blood pressure. I really wish companies would let it sweeten our own tea however we choose, if we choose. I generally don’t sweeten mine.
I don’t sweeten mine either!
