drank After Dinner Mint by DAVIDsTEA
74 tasting notes

Argh, licorice! I need to stop giving it a chance. Listen, I love teas that help settle the stomach. And I’m happy that this tea still does that. But the licorice aftertaste… [shudder]. The flavors are nice enough as I’m sipping, it’s the lingering taste that makes the experience as a whole unpleasant. I’m just not sure why the licorice is needed here (does anyone even actively like licorice?). Anyway, I will continue to drink straight fennel or mint tea for now.

Flavors: Fennel, Licorice, Mint

Preparation
200 °F / 93 °C 3 min, 30 sec 1 tsp 12 OZ / 354 ML

Ironically, the licorice root is included because it’s actually used as an herbal remedy for upset stomachs, indigestion, and heartburn ;)

Blergh, good to know! Hopefully it’s not the only ingredient in this tea solving my tummy trouble :|

I like licorice things in general, but I agree that licorice root can be very unpleasant if it’s too strong. It has a very cloying quality to me.

Hello! My name is Mateusz, or Mat for short. Started brewing gong fu style in January 2021. This is mostly for logging purposes; don’t expect fancy reviews as I’m not great at picking up every note and hint and I’m not too picky anyway.

Happy to exchange tea samples! I haven’t been great at updating my cupboard but feel free to ask about the teas that I log on here.
