TTB 2025. When I opened the pouch, I was hit with a smell that smelled convincingly like rootbeer. The brewed tea tasted like a mixture of rootbeer and buttered popcorn jelly beans, and something sweet but offputting I couldn’t put my finger on. I could have seen possibly liking this tea, if it wasn’t for that offputting sweet note.
Most likely the licorice root – it tends to have a cloying (IMO) mouth-coating sweetnees.
Thanks! I just looked up licorice root tea taste, and it seems like that is likely it.
It’s one of those ingredients that I tend to avoid if possible, ha ha… :P
