First off, I should say I LOVE ceylon! I also despise anything remotely licoricey. So with that in mind…
This is the perfect balance of sweet coconutty, chocolatey, creamy goodness, with just enough of the anise undertone to round it out. Fantastic as a latte too!
I’ve been struggling for weeks now to keep this tea a secret, because the wonderful folks at head office sent me an incredibly generous sample after I sent in an email asking for their input for a tea-related show name for my pony, Java. Well, Java grew quite the fan club at DT HQ, and among the name suggestions was “Ceylon Star”. I really liked it, and it suits him, because he is very sweet but still has a sassy edge to him, he has a big white star on his forehead, and we both enjoy a nice cup of ceylon. So the lovely folks at head office sent us some of this “secret tea” to try, and both Java and I fell in love! Thus, “Ceylon Star”, the pony, was born! haha!
Now DT just needs to release some more ceylon ;)

You really should try this one though. I don’t taste licorice exactly, it’s almost…malty? I really can’t figure out how to describe it. The smell of licorice makes me nauseous, but this has none of the licoricey smell that you’d expect from a tea containing star anise.
Your story got into the dt newsletter. I just read about this in my email. :)
I know! i’ve been getting texts/emails/facebook messages about it all day! There’s even a thread about it on the discussion board! He got an extra special treat of Ceylon Star, oatmeal, bran, alfalfa pellets, and applesauce today to celebrate. so spoiled <3
