Great Caffeine Free Option

Pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoy this tea! My first time having a barley tea. Richly bodied with a subtle caramel sweetness. The cocoa and anise are secondary flavors, and round out the flavor nicely.

One of my favorites!

I'm always on the hunt for tasty caffeine-free teas that aren't terribly fruity or flowery, and Cult of Demeter really fits the bill. The malty, cocoa-y flavor is really delightful, especially with a wee bit of sweetener. This tea has become one of my favorites to drink in the evenings.

I’m joining the cult

The ingredient list is simple, but the sum is greater than the individual parts. While you can taste each flavor, they all harmonize together. Delicious.
