Indigobloom drank Licorice Spice by Stash Tea

1759 tasting notes

Oh sweet sweet licorice, how I adore thee!! when I’m not well that is.
Wow. I think I need to buy me some more of this one. It’s amazing!! I love it.
I’m getting a whole whack of licorice up front, along with a slight orange peel note and something vaguely cinnamon that is mostly hidden by the licorice.
I can’t taste any vanilla, thankfully. I wish I knew what Sarsaparilla tasted like, as I suspect that is what kicks up the sweetness here. Oh and the aftertaste lingers nicely as well.
No matter. This is love!!!! Big thanks to my cousin, Karen, for gifting me the sampler pack that contains such a lovely tea :)
I hope I can find this on the shelf later…

I’m sure you would Amy! I’m not sure if I’d like it when 100% healthy but at the moment… it’s perfect *sighs
I think I did try it… and it was a little too pungent for me. Somehow this one hits the perfect balance of sweet and mild

I believe that sarsparilla is the flavoring for root beer, but it’s very light in this blend, so I do not detect it at all.

Bio

Let’s see… I’m a tea and workout fanatic, I work in HR, and most of my friends consider me to be an egg. White on the outside, Asian on the inside :)
-from philosophy to food, I love it all
Otherwise, what you see is what you get! I can be very straightforward and yet shy.

Also, I’ve started taking tea sommelier classes and it is an absolute blast! Well, so far I’ve only finished the first out of eight courses, but I am really looking forward to the next one.

Anyhow, if your curious as to how I rate things, this is how I work…

0-25
Like eating dirt, or some other unsanitary indelicacy that mentioning in my profile here would likely get me banned.
I don’t think I’ve found cause to banish a tea to the wasteland yet though so who knows what it’d inspire ;P

25-50
You know that expression “Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater”? I imagine drinking that water would be terrible enough to warrant this rating!
I’d never make my enemy drink this, but perhaps I’d throw it at them. Good thing I don’t have any enemies!

50-70
This is “tea”?? I tried finishing the cup… but my body rejected it. There may be others who enjoy this tea, but it’s beyond me!

70-80
I tried liking it, and I can almost get there! I certainly don’t hate it, but something is holding me back. Allergies? Men in white suits? who knows… certainly not me!

80-90
Lovely tea! Not my all time fave but close. I likely wouldn’t repurchase, but may decide to based on many factors: price, accessibility, whether it fills a “tea gap”, medicinal applications, and how often I crave it.
Every once in awhile I find the sweet spot that bumps these up to 90+. Those are the days I need to buy a lotto ticket!

90-95
Sweet Camellia! this is realllly good tea! Don’t talk to me until I’ve finished my cup…

95-100
Tea of the gods. I would do anything to get my hands on more of this liquid gold!
