Brand: Teapigs
Flavour: Fennel & Liquorice
Ingredients: Fennel (80%), liquorice root (20%)
Caffeine Factor: Caffeine-free Organic Ingredients: Unknown Price Range: £3.95 Bags Per Box: 15Our Review: Fennel tastes somewhat like liquorice (albeit a bit more 'planty'), so this isn't much of a 'blend'. Instead, it's like taking fennel tea and ruining it.
It is extremely sweet - not quite as intense as their Liquorice & Peppermint blend, but definitely headed there. We have no idea why but the smell is like cheap, fake maple syrup, and long after you've drunk it, a similar aftertaste lingers in your mouth. It's like fake toffee, or squeezy-bottle artificially flavoured maple syrup - the kind you'd put on cheap Mr Whippy ice cream. It's just bizarre. Maybe that's your thing - but it's not ours. We aren't big liquorice fans anyway, but these combinations are just too much. They're infusions for people with a sugar addiction, trying to be healthy about it. That's not our idea of what tea is meant to be. It's not relaxing; it's a sure way to make your teeth ache.Best time of year to drink this: Any time, if you have insane sweet cravings
Best time of day to drink this: After lunch, if you're desperate for dessert and trying to avoid calories
