Dry leaf nose: Refreshing ginger with slight orange notes.
Liquor: Very bright, greenish-gold, clear liquor. Nice ginger aroma.
Flavour: Sweet with ginger and licorice, the green tea tempers the sweetness and adds a note of its own. The orange is present in the cup but not prominent. The peppercorn adds a zest. Rosehips finish the blend with a fruity afternote.

How strong is the licorice? I’m not a huge fan of it, though in blends like Secret Weapon, it isn’t very prominent and I can tolerate it.

Not very strong. The ginger is definitely the most prominent flavour, with the licorice adding a little sweetness to the tea.
