I have found people either love or hate licorice-there’s not really an in between. I absolutely love licorice-so this tea was a true no brainer for me. Excitedly I showed my latest purchase to my family to be given a look. My hot tea drinking daughter who loves licorice said “well I’m not too sure about that as tea”. This had to be a must try. Licorice Spice by Stash tea.
Natural Grocers
Natural Grocers has a pretty decent selection of tea. The first thing that drew me to this tea was the actual brand-Stash Tea Company. I have tried a few teas by Stash and have really enjoyed them. I love The Portland Blend hot and find their Wild Raspberry Hibiscus is amazing hot, iced and even as an adult beverage so that tea is always on hand. I looked over at the variety of Stash tea and discovered Licorice Spice. With a cute elephant-and of course licorice on the packaging.
Package Description
On the box it states how Stash tea believes that tea should do more than satisfy but take you on a taste journey. All of their teas I have tried so far follow this description so I hoped this was another.

Latest tea find
I decided to prepare this tea with my latest glass teapot by Primula. I know it’s a sickness but it is soooo cute! I added 2 tea bags and did the 5 minute brew.
Taste test
The tea bags did not have a strong aroma. I expected a darker color in the tea due to dark licorice I guess. I gathered my 2 skeptical top notch tea reviewers together. My hot tea drinking daughter was surprised and said “this is actually good” she enjoyed a licorice aftertaste. My husband who is not a fan of licorice actually liked this and all of the spices. I thought it was yummy, no strong odor-nice color-spice flavor with a non overpowering licorice taste.
This was another enjoyable Stash tea. There must be a reason I return to their products.
