Great blend that is earthy and spicy. It is a great blend to end my day.
I don't usually enjoy teas with star anise and its relatives but this tea was very pleasant.
I’m still early in my journey of tea exploration here, but this was and is an early hit! I love the spicy notes of the linden flower and star anise, which are balanced beautifully with the woodsy cedar and coriander. There’s a surprising burst of tartness (cherry bark?) that I adore, both in the scent and flavor!
The simplest way I would describe this would be "spicy licorice", that's the first scent that hits you on opening the bag. The liquor is mostly clear, very little color. I steeped for 7min at 180. Surprisingly, it is a bit sweet and has enough taste on its own that makes it pretty satisfying to drink!
This is my favorite tea from this company, and that is a high honor because I quite enjoy many of them. It needs brewed very strongly, as a lot of the flavors are subtle, but God it is absolutely gorgeous in scent and flavor and entirely worth the long steep. I am a little biased since I love woodsy flavors and anise, but Capricorn or otherwise, please do yourself a favor and give it a try.
