Another one that I just had to revisit sooner rather than later!
I think, now that the intial wave of overwhelming excitement about the plum flavour has passed, I’m noticing the licorice root in the taste of this tea a lot more. Licorice root is kind of weird for me: I love black licorice, star anise, aniseed, and fennel which are all pretty dang licorice-y tasting. However, licorice root!? Usually that’s a hard no for me. However, it’s blend almost seamlessly into that plum undertone/finishing note and I think it’s actually helping the plum taste more like plum.
So… At least for now, I’m giving the licorice root a pass in this blend. It can keep doing its thing and I’ll not only suck it up but also enjoy it. This is a nice tea!
