I saw Terri HarpLady’s recent note for this and decided that I wanted to brew some too. I must’ve used less leave than last time, as it is a bit weak (mostly lacking in the malty department). Nevertheless, this is a very good and naturally sweet black tea. I don’t detect any licorice notes as Terri did, but I can see how the sweetness could possibly be taken as such. I might even notice it too if I brew it with enough leaf next time! Of course, we are all individuals and no tea is the same for everyone :)

Shelley, it turns out my licorice experience was due to user error, as the brew basket retained the licorice flavor from “So Long, & thanks for all the licorice”. It is soaking as we speak.
Funny, that so easily could have happened to me to as I just brewed that same licorice tea for my husband not long before. Then we’d have everyone confused how two people were tasting the same ‘mistake’ lol.
