Evelyn ★★★★★

The cinnamon and cardamom hit you right away, but that vanilla and almond twist makes it feel like a bakery in a mug. I've been having it with a splash of milk every afternoon and the liquorice root gives it such a smooth, lingering finish. Honestly, this is the most comforting tea I've bought in mo

Kevin L. ★★★★★

The Assam base gives it real heft, but it's the vanilla and almond that make this taste like a proper dessert in a mug. I've been reaching for it every afternoon since the tin arrived, and the liquorice root keeps things naturally sweet without needing sugar.

Jacob R. ★★★★★

Brewed a pot this morning and the cardamom really comes through, with that sweet vanilla-almond finish lingering nicely. It’s cozy without being heavy, and the Assam base gives it enough body to stand up to a splash of milk.
