This smells good, but at first sip I went, “Ew! Gross!” If you don’t like licorice root sweetness, it is very apparent in this tea. I really detest that sweetness, so this is not at ALL for me, oh my goodness.
I could like the flavours, but a deal breaker is a deal breaker.
Oh, another thing. The oolong I got in my 10g is very sad. Wee teensy broken pieces that unfurl and make sad broken leaves in my strainer.

you guys are really making me want to go get the small saples i was going to buy….not. lol
If you don’t mind licorice root, it’s worth a try. It’s used in a way I cannot stand it here, so I am sad.
I didn’t read the ingredients but would have never expected licorice in this one. Wow.
It could have been herbal as far as I was concerned. There wasn’t a lot of tea in it, and it was more expensive than the rest. Figures.
And I think you’re right – it has licorice in it!
(I recognize the flavour now that it has a name)
:)
Same here….I wasn’t expecting licorice either, when I sniffed at the store. I had highhopes for this one. Will just have to hope Stacy comes through with her chocolate hazelnut honeybush.
Fingers crossed, Heather! :)
Even though it’s not listed in the ingredients, a friend who works there also told me this one might have stevia in it? Not sure it’s too noticeable if it’s in there underneath the licorice, but I definitely don’t get as much hazelnut as I was promised. :(
Oh, that would be fun. I have a friend who gets hallucinations when she ingests stevia…
These are the ingredients on their website… No mention of licorice except as an allergen. I thought maybe it was part of the natural flavouring, but there’s visible licorice root in the tea and it’s listed on the package.
“Cocoa husks, cocoa beans, oolong tea, black tea, natural hazelnut flavouring, artificial cream, chocolate and caramel flavoring*.
Allergens: contains licorice"
I agree about the lack of tea leaves. It was pretty disappointing.
White Chocolate Frost is supposed to have stevia in it.
It does. Didn’t taste it too much the first cup, but then I’ve had instances of all the stevia sinking to the bottom of the bag before.
