My swap with OMGsrsly arrived today, much to my delight!
This was one of the wonderful teas she included, and one that I’ve been curious about for a while. I’m a fan both of Douglas Adams and licorice, so this had to be the first to try!
Opening it is like opening a bag of moist and chewy molasses-rich black licorice… but knowing the calories truly don’t count!
Once it’s steeped, the promise of the aroma does back off a little… maybe a slightly longer time or a little more of the dry blend will give my next cup a little bump. The licorice is still there, and even a slightly thick mouthfeel, but I can pick up a couple of the fainter supporting notes now.
As it is after midnight, I do wish it wasn’t caffeinated, but since I’m still on winter break I’ll just channel the caffeine into more costuming. I’m such a nerd. But off to reconstruct Viking clothing in period fabrics with period stitch types. Yay!
As for the tea, this little lovely is going on the shopping list.
Yay! This tea is seriously my favourite.
