Another tea received in the swap with The DJBooth. This tea is a different mix than I’ve had before. I can certainly taste the anise, which I enjoy. There is a sweetness that must be from the honey, there are some spices in there, nice and sweet and spicy. Even a little woodsy. I definitely wouldn’t do this tea with cream, I think it would interfere with the lovely floral and woodsy notes going on here. I’m glad I got to try this tea!

My brother found this sitting around at his lab and gave it to me. It seems to be the same blend as TeaGschwendner. First off the aroma of the tea is intoxicating. Mostly you smell the anise and vanilla. I don’t think the flavor of the tea matches the aroma but it’s still quite good. I have not had it iced but would like to try it that way.

Ahhh I like this tea more and more. I get a little bit of Earl Grey when I drink this now. The black tea is definitely robust. The Jasmine, honey, and vanilla flavors make it a worthy choice for the afternoon. One of my co-workers commented on how good this tea smells. It is marvelous and the aroma left in the cup is like that of a wonderful Cavendish.
