What they say: A big flavorful herbal tea swirling with cinnamon, star anise, and other fragrant notes. In a past life, perhaps you spent an evening sitting in Marco Polo's camp on a return trip from the spice markets of the Far East. This is the tea you were drinking.
Preparation method: Boil water and pour over tea bag. Steep for 5 minutes.
Review: Sweet Cinnamon Spice Herbal Infusion is very spicy and bold, with a slight hint of sweetness from the licorice and sarsaparilla roots. Sarsaparilla root has been used to make root beer. I liked this herbal brew. The cinnamon provides a mild bite and sharpness to the tea. Although orange peel is an ingredient in this blend, I didn't taste much of that. The way the licorice root taste sticks to the back of my palate bothered me - enough to keep my from really enjoying the tea.
