From Murchie's Tea & Coffee

The tingling, sparkling licorice flavours in this enticing herbal tisane come from a blend of licorice root, fennel and anise seeds, and star anise.

Those who aren’t fans of licorice shouldn’t be afraid to try this tea as it is refreshing with a similar sensation to mint (without being minty) and not a heavy black licorice flavour. The licorice flavours are lightened and balanced by the honey scent and flavour of Honeybush.

The longer you steep this tea, the more flavour will come out of the spices, and it won’t get bitter like black or green tea would. If you’re a fan of strong spice flavours, try simmering on the stove for 10 minutes rather than using a typical pour-over steep.

Ingredients: Rooibos, honeybush, licorice root, anise seed, fennel seed, star anise, elder flowers.

Warning: Licorice root is not recommended for young children.

Truthfully I’ve been putting this one off.

I absolutely love the taste of anise/black licorice/fennel but I can’t stand licorice root. This tea has all of the above, so I wasn’t sure where it would land with my own preferences. However, I actually found I liked the tea more than I’d expected to. It’s an incredibly intense and unabashed licorice flavour – of both the black and root kinds. Really coats every single surface of the palate and lingers for a significantly long time after each sip. It’s so sweet, but also has just enough dark bitter molasses-y notes to kind of offset that quality. “Kind of” is the key part of that sentence.

My grandfather passed long before I got into tea, but he absolutely loved black licorice flavoured anything and as I was drinking this tea I was struck with the realization that this would probably have been the kind of tea we’d have really been able to converse and bond over. That said, wouldn’t recommend this at all to anything who is even halfway uncertain of whether they like any of the above mentioned flavours. It’s extreme.
