Linden flower lends savory herbaciousness for an overall composition of exquisite balance worthy of an entry in any Capricorn's perfectly organized tea tasting journal.

The overall ingredients certainly seemed like they'd be weird, but at first sip I was quite surprised at how much the flavors seem to meld almost perfectly together. This is a truly genius blend, mellow with no caffeine perfect for a night time wind down.
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!
