Review: The tin promises ‘hints of thyme, citrus and anise’. We struggled to find all of this. It smells like savoury seasoning – oregano or sage. It tastes like sage, too, but manages to avoid tasting like pasta. It’s closest to thyme, maybe, but milder and not as sweet. Best of all, the tin is full of clumps of the plant, like it was just harvested with no processing. Unfortunately, we can’t find it anywhere online anymore, so we’re not sure where you get it. Even the company’s website seems to have deleted it, which is a shame because we enjoyed this one. It was cleansing and refreshing. Time to grow our own ironwort!

Best time of year to drink this: It feels like a spring or summer drink

Best time of day to drink this: Anytime, but probably especially after meals
