Tastes Like: biscotti, aniseed, cocoa butter, toasted barley
Feels Like: golden grain harvest

Divine comfort in the dark hours of winter. Inspired by the original barley tisane kykeon, the ritual drink of devotees of the Greek goddess Demeter, this tea has a satin texture and creamy flavor. Nutty roasted barley and malt are enriched by the subtle aroma of sweet aniseed and roasted cacao. A splash of your favorite milk turns up its natural sweetness.

Reminded me of brewing beer

I was looking forward to a licorice tea, instead got soggy Grape Nuts water with a hint of licorice. This is a miss.
