This is my last sample from Persimmon Tree Tea Company, and the one I’ve been avoiding. I didn’t know that star anise is similar to licorice when I requested this sample. I did realize it when I smelled the tea once it arrived. I really really don’t like licorice. Still, I tried to give this a fair chance, I really really did. But the licorice taste was to strong for me.
On the plus side, I’ve you’re a fan of licorice, this is a tea for you.
black licorice is just nasty, nasty stuff. Blech.
