Love this tea.

This is my afternoon/evening go to tea. Hits the spot flavor wise but doesn’t give me a buzzz, I love it.

Simple and delicious

Wasn’t interested in this tea at first but after trying other caffeine free blends and finding most too sweet, I thought this would be more of what I wanted. I was right, 3 simple ingredients that are perfectly blended, complex and most importantly NOT SWEET. I do love anise, the flavor is there but not overpowering. I love it with a splash of milk, the flavors remind me of oatmeal with milk…. so incredibly surprising and delicious.

Almost missed out

I almost didn't order this one but I am glad I did. The first sip and I was sold and smiling! This is my "its been a hard day and I just want to drink my tea and think happy thoughts" tea. Its like a long sigh.
