Had them prepare this for me. I drank it black, even though traditionally it’s supposed to be made with condensed milk and sugar. As promised in the description, the flavor was indeed well-balanced and complex. The vanilla and the non-astringent Irish breakfast black tea base provided a smooth, lemony, earthy foundation, and I enjoyed both the bitterness of the orange peel rounded out by the gentle sweetness of the cardamom and the spicy-sweet edge that the cinnamon and anise provided. Just super tasty and masterfully blended.

Flavors: Anise, Citrus Zest, Earth, Spicy, Sweet, Vanilla
