The liquorice plant is a legume (related to beans and peas) and native to southern Europe and parts of Asia. A sweet flavor, commonly referred to simply as licorice, can be extracted from its root. In traditional Chinese medicine, liquorice is commonly used in herbal formulas to “harmonize” the other ingredients in the formula and to carry the formula into all 12 of the regular meridians.

Vanessa's review: "The chocolatey flavor is just about as good as it gets and bears resemblence to baker's chocolate or hot cocoa. This is hands-down the best herbal blend I have had in a long time, and I will definitely be buying some of this. " Read review » |

Dan's review: "This is a superb tea that just gets better with each cup. It really delivers from the very first sip, but as you become more familiar with it, and more intimate with its nuances, it only gets better from there. This could very well be Rishi's masterstroke." Read review » |

Laura's review: "Tea Spree lists the ingredients in this as organic rooibos, ginger, licorice, clove, cinnamon and essential vanilla oil. This list of ingredients kind of grabbed my attention because most vanilla rooibos blends I have tried contain little more than some form of vanilla and rooibos." Read review » |

Vanessa's review: "As its name implies, this tea is spicy, in fact, I would say it is very spicy. The peppermint is the foundation for this blend, but the other ingredients provide a peppery, and almost pungent, spiciness to this tea. The cardamom was probably the most noticeable spicy flavor. This tea really has some kick to it, and therefore will likely not appeal to everyone. " Read review » |

Shelly's review: "I'm not a big fan of licorice, hibiscus or fennel, and all three play a major role in this tea. For me it wasn't a winner, but if you enjoy those flavors, this could be the tea for you." Read review » |

Christine's review: "It does indeed taste a bit like a chai, but 'lighter'; I think the ginger and coriander are the prominent flavors. It also lives up to its classification as a 'spice' blend: the aftertaste consists of a slight but noticeable burning sensation on your tongue and the back of your throat. " Read review » |

Troy's review: "The herbs were a beautiful mix of root chunks, grassish leaves, mint leaf fragments, and bits of flowers. It tasted exactly like it looked, namely like lemongrass, with a refreshing twist from the mint, and a flowery softening of the edges." Read review » |

Laura's review: "I enjoy lemongrass and found the union of the lemongrass with the licorice, mint and ginseng flavors to be cleansing, refreshing and even invigorating due to the ginseng. However, ginger, is there ginger in this?" Read review » |

Geoff's review: "The tea itself turned a dark hazel, the smell of ginger and lemon highlighted. As for taste, it was like imbibing hot lemonade with a licorice stick in it. Ginger was faint, but still part of the main body. All in all, fairly decent." Read review » |

Vanessa's review: "The tea had a general sweetness to it, but elements of coconut, pineapple, and rum were too mild for my liking. I will say that this tea is much better as an iced tea than a hot drink, but even so, it is mediocre and forgettable. " Read review » |

Vanessa's review: "Chocolate and spices seem to pair well for me, and the cherry-chocolate-spice blend earned a big thumbs up from me as well. This tea was not overly sweet, but had just enough natural sweetness for me to forgo adding any sugar or honey." Read review » |

Jamie's review: "I think I've isolated the flavors as being a combination of the lemongrass and the licorice, which marry in a sort of unpleasantly confusing muddiness that I found I disliked. The tea wasn't horrible, but it ended really strangely." Read review » |

Vanessa's review: "There was a spicy element, definitely from the cardamom, but the overwhelming flavor is medicinal-herbal. The licorice is definitely present, so if you don't like licorice, you surely won't like this blend." Read review » |

Laura's review: "This does remind me of a subtle chai with a licorice twist. The anise/licorice component isn't too in your face while this is hot, but previous experience tells me that they will become more prevalent as the cup cools." Read review » |
