While not quite finished, I only have one sachet of this tea remaining. Interestingly, I chose it on a whim, without intentionally seeking out a woman-owned brand. It just felt like the right time to revisit Tielka tea.
Describing this blend is straightforward: it’s dominated by fennel and aniseed, offering a refreshing, herbaceous eucalyptus note, and a subtle lemony touch from lemon myrtle. Despite having it for over a year, it tastes remarkably fresh and remains a personal favorite. This is exactly what I envision in an herbal blend – locally sourced ingredients and a nod to traditional, native-inspired recipes.
I understand that the prominent fennel and aniseed flavors might be intense for some palates. However, I found them surprisingly enjoyable, far more than I anticipated. I can easily see myself keeping a few sachets on hand for occasional enjoyment.
To put it simply, if you enjoy the sweet, licorice-like flavor of fennel and aniseed, combined with refreshing herbal notes, you’ll likely love this tea. It’s a bold and flavorful blend that stays true to its natural (and organic) ingredients.
Note: I received Tielka teas, included in this (and following) tasting notes, free of charge in exchange for a tasting note. I will do my best to remain unbiased, but of course, I am very grateful for this opportunity.
