Licorice, derived from the licorice root, has been consumed for millennia. The root was particularly prized in ancient Greece, China and Egypt for its restorative qualities. These ancient cultures believed that the licorice root was an effective ingredient in making cough syrups, and tonics.
For most people in the modern world however, licorice is simply a delicious confection that hints of sweet anise. Luckily it also compliments this high grown Ceylon beautifully. Our supplier only uses teas from 3 tea growing regions of Sri Lanka - Nuwara Eliya, Dimbula and Uva. Dimbula and the western estates of Nuwara Eliya have a major quality peak during Jan/Feb, whereas Uva and the eastern estates of Nuwara Eliya have their peak in July/Aug. This dual peak period allows our quality supplier (Metropolitan Tea) to buy the best for thier flavored tea several times a year. These high-grown districts produce teas that have classic 'Ceylon' tea character, noted by floral boquet and flavor notes, touches of astringency and bright coppery color. Perfect as the base for our flavored teas. (Other teas from various other origins around the world were tested as a base for the flavored teas, but none made the grade).
Flavoring oils, not artificial crystals, give the tea drinker high quality tea that tastes great!
