Thanks to derk I can try this as well. I have used the half of what I got for my evening cup, with all the nice spice in and… licorice root.
Yes, it is in and loads of it. After first sip, I completely agree with statement “Glob, that’s sweet.” because indeed it is. Luckily, I have been craving sweet all day and I am looking on one box of chocolates which are too damn good (Walkers Chocolates of London — Mucha Red box) and opened bar of Ecuadorean chocolate with cacao nibs from my Swiss friend and it’s so damn good too — but decided for sweet tea instead.
Beneath the licorice sweetness there is “juicy” orange peel, but sadly, I do not nice any spices but hints of anise. Where is cinnamon, cloves, cardamom?
6 grams to finish this small bag (not sure when)
Flavors: Anise, Licorice Root, Sweet
Preparation
Well, the cold turned COVID on me. All this time, I was hoping I was relatively immune but it finally caught me 3 years after the big debut in China. The nature of mutations. Now I’m holed up in my bedroom through at least Tuesday.
The dry cough is particularly annoying. It scratches and niggles. Linden tea wasn’t cutting it so I pulled out Mandala’s Ginseng Oolong for its licorice root during the day and now this licorice root-heavy spice blend for the evening. It helps a little. The flavor is nice. It’s sweet (almost cloying) and coating, sparkling and juicy with a good touch of warming spices and orange peel. Fished the horehound candies out from the pantry to aid with the coughing and throat soothing.
I thought the first time I tried Licorice Spice that I might finish it by the end of last winter. Well I didn’t but my propensity toward neglect came in clutch for once. Feeling grateful at the moment but also wondering how China is truly fairing after the Zero COVID policy was abandoned and how the effects will ripple through our globalized world.
Get better soon!
I hope you feel better soon! I think everyone getting COVID is pretty much inevitable now.
Sorry to hear the Rona finally got you. Hope you bounce back soon. I’m still a Covid virgin but it’s only a matter of time for me too
Take care of yourself.
Oh, derk! I am so sorry! Ashman has it right now, too, and he is also holed up until Tuesday. Drink lots of tea and stay cozy!
Oh, I am sorry you are sick. Take care of yourself. Hugs.
Get well soon!
I’ve managed to avoid Covid so far and haven’t had a serious cold/flu since college but I figure my time is probably coming with the way my brothers like to parade their sick children through my house.
Wishing you a speedy recovery!
Thanks everybody. Last night was the second of two nights of sweating my soul out after breaking fever. No fever today suggests I’m through the worst of it :)
ashmanra – Hope Ashman kicks it soon!
Thank you, derk! I hope you are on the mend and over the worst. Rest and tea!
oh no, derk! Recover quickly! I, too, am really worried about what will happen in China…
I’m sorry Covid got you. Hope you’re feeling better now!
A name that lives up to the taste dominance. Woof. That’s licorice! But the spices do a good job in the background and the orange peel — it’s almost juicy under that strange licorice root sweetness.
I’ve not yet visited Petaluma Coffee & Tea Co. Maybe one day. I hesitate because COFFEE but hey, they might make some good tea blends. Thanks to my coworker Sean for the birthday gift! This bag will be gone by the end of winter.
Glob, that’s sweet.
