Thanks for another sample, Octavia Tea! I was not enthusiastic about this one, as I’m not a fan of turmeric. The couple of times I had a turmeric tea it was too bitter with an odd dusty quality. I couldn’t tell what the appeal of turmeric was. But apparently it’s a healthy. I usually don’t like ginger either. And ginger and turmeric come from the same plant family so it’s no wonder I don’t like them. So this tea might not have been the one I’d choose to reach for. Anyway, this is the best a turmeric cup can possibly get and was actually enjoyable, resulting in a flavor that was mostly licorice. The licorice was probably included to make the turmeric smoother. The golden brew was earthy and sweet. Not too many of the citrus ingredients came through in the flavor: Licorice first, turmeric second. I expected a much worse result.
