I’m going to need to try this again before i land on how i feel about it. I was expecting more from this one when i brewed it up, based on the smell. It’s a lovely aroma – orangey, sweet smelling….however first sip of this after letting it cool a bit is more like slightly flavoured water. There’s almost a hint of orange here…but not really. the tea base is a little weak, which is odd since i’m fairly certain anne’s used this as a base for other teas that i’ve loved. I’m tasting the star anise for sure, but the other spices seem to be hiding. Not a bad cup, but not what i was expecting. Reserving judgement for now since it’s a recent blend and might just need a little more time and b) now there’s a little more room in the package to really shake things around.
All that being said, thanks so much for your continued involvement in the community Anne :)

You need to use a little more leaf in this one because of the amount of spice in it – treat it like you would a chai and brew it with more leaf to get a proper flavor. :)
(Instead of 3g for a 12 ounce cup – you should go with at least 4.5g or 5g.)
will try that next time :)
I am curious about this one. It could go either way for me. I am certainly open to this combination of flavours and wholeheartedly support Anne’s creative impulses and blending approaches. Still thinking.
And yes, I love that Anne continues to be embedded in the community. Even more reason to adore her.
