So I’ve never heard of a biscochito, but apparently it’s a New Mexican cookie that’s similar to shortbread, but with added orange, cinnamon, and anise. Sounds scrumptious! This tea also has the addition of Hatch green chile powder to make things a bit more interesting.

I admit, I wasn’t too enthused by the smell, which is mostly just cinnamon. But the taste is actually quite different. It’s less sweet than I expected, and I can actually taste the green chile. It’s not spicy though, I just taste the flavor of the chile if that makes sense. The cinnamon and anise are both present, but nicely restrained so they don’t take over the blend. I can even taste a bit of the cocoa shell!

It doesn’t really taste like a cookie to me, but I am really enjoying the combination of flavors and it’s nice on the green base. Unsure yet if it’s a reorder, but I’m looking forward to future cups!

I sampled this one the last time I was in the shop, and it was so good! I wish they had an herbal version.
