Do you have a licorice tea?. YES!!! I can finally say, why, YES WE DO!!!. My husband is a licorice fanatic. I'm not sure who introduced him to licorice, but I remember living in Russia around the time we got married, we would often take a trip to Finland on the overnight bus. Back then 10 euros bought you the privilege of travelling alongside a busload of Russian babushkas hiding cartons of cigarettes and alcohol to sell at inflated prices to desperate Fins. I remember the moment we would cross the Finish border and see a KKK supermarket (I'm not kidding here, they have supermarkets called KKK and it's totally legit), Alexei would rush to the lolly section filling his basket with as much licorice (salmiakki) as our tiny budget would allow. Sadly for my poor Russian husband, the only licorice in Russia came in the form of medicine. There was also licorice flavoured fudge in Finland, which I could have happily drowned my sorrows in, rather than the cliche block of chocolate. I've always regretted not buying more. I've never seen a fudge shop in Australia make licorice fudge and it's such a terrible tragedy.

Anyhow! This tea I created in honour of my licorice loving husband. He likes peanut butter too (there was never much peanut butter in Russia), but that's a story for another day. Make sure you try this blend, because Alexei loves it. And if Alexei loves it, we're onto something good.

Happy brewing!
