Licorice Mint goes bold with the licorice, uniting a full trio of licorice-type ingredients. First, licorice root provides a deep sweetness and also has a throat-coating effect. Then, fennel and anise add depth and dimension. Forget the candy: when you brew Licorice Mint, you get a complex licorice experience, top to bottom. The aroma offers another perspective, hinting at the other ingredients: the savory zing of cloves and the freshness of peppermint. Among such bright companions, peppermint blends in a bit, though its uplifting quality comes through easily. Finally, ginger lingers in the midst, adding an extra dose of warmth and fullness. We recommend Licorice Mint as a naturally sweet herbal tea with no need for added sugar or honey. It also tastes great, hot or cold, summer or winter. We enjoy the throat-coating quality of licorice root when Montana winters turn cold and dry. Then, in hot weather, licorice and mint actually have a cooling effect on the body.
