I received a bit of this to try from LiberTEAS and it was quite unusual.
The initial fragrance was strong of licorice and berry. Once brewed, it became slightly citrusy and sweet.
The taste isn’t what I expected. From the name, I thought this would be sweet and fruity. Instead, it had the citrusy, astringent “snap” of a good darjeeling (+ points) and a slightly bitter and herbal taste from the anise. I didn’t detect much in the way of blackberry but you could sense the fig as a mellow, lingering subtly sweet fruit aftertaste.
Overall, I really liked this as it has an excellent base. However, the product doesn’t seem to match its name well.
