Another herbal tea by the Austrian company Sonnentor, with a handful of ingredients that aren’t commonly found in American herbal teas. Here we can find black caraway AKA black cumin AKA nigella AKA black seed, thyme, rooibos, savory, purple carrots, black pepper, common hollyhock and caraway.
In-your-face profile that warms and invigorates when you don’t want a typical chai-spice caffeinated tea. Its spicy herb character will clear your nose and overtake your palate. Difficult to describe but it tastes robust and peppery, more like oregano than thyme; lots of black cumin; green-brown-red-black. Not necessarily savory even though it contains the actual herb savory :P
Gets the blood pumping and feels like a brew that would cut fatty meals very well! Sonnentor suggest pairing with roasts, cheese and hearty spreads. I can see how Heavy Metal would complement those foods greatly.
Another thank you to Martin!

Black cumin/nigella tastes and smells like new pencils to me!
Wowzers!
