This is some seriously good stuff. All the spices are culinary, I may just use the dry tea in a recipe sometime. Price is decent: box 20 bags for $1.99, about 10ยข per cup. The cat was curious so I let him lick a drop off my finger; I definitely wouldn’t do that with a caffeinated tea, but this is just spice.
I wouldn’t call it “Ruby red.” It’s more like a deep spice/clay red, Moroccan red. Beautiful colour, though. Henna fans should take note, this tea would be a good base water for it.
Taste is very gentle. I’m not a clove fan, but the only indication it’s there is a mild tingle on the tongue and the upper part of the throat.
I’ll have to to take away points for packaging the teabags in plastic, though >:( Yes, it protects the flavour but we need to cut back on plastic! Follow Celestial Seasonings’ example, wrap ’em in waxed paper.
