Fennel in tea scares me. Licorice in tea scares me…together it would normally give me the hee-bee-gee-bees! There’s something that works about this tisane! It’s light on the scary stuff and just right on the minty-goodness for a nice combo of flavors that create a taste of its own. Pretty surprising! Pretty good!
2 Tasting Notes
This is a great licorice tea. Herbal teas can often be light and soft – this one doesn’t come across that way. The mixture of ingredients makes it taste strong in the mouth with a powerful licorice flavor. The fennel and peppermint don’t stand out, but blend with the licorice root to support it – you really don’t notice them until the back of the tongue when the mint kicks in.
This tea works extremely well either hot or at room temperature. Cold doesn’t serve this tea well and tends to hinder the flavor some. Highly recommended for licorice fans.
