Cardamom
Cardamom comes from the seed pods of a plant in the ginger family, native to the forests of southern India and Sri Lanka and also grown in Guatemala. It has an intensely aromatic, warm, resinous fragrance with hints of citrus, eucalyptus and sweet spice. Cardamom is an essential ingredient in Indian masala chai, where it pairs with black tea, cinnamon, ginger, clove and black pepper. It also lifts rooibos and green tea blends, and loves a splash of milk.
Cinnamon is the dried inner bark of evergreen trees native to Sri Lanka and Southeast Asia, rolled into the familiar curled quills. In the cup it gives a sweet, woody warmth with a gentle bite and a rich, bakery-like aroma. It is a natural partner for black tea, rooibos and fruit blends, especially alongside ginger, cardamom, clove and apple. Try a cinnamon blend with a splash of milk on a cold morning, or brew it strong and pour it over ice.
Cloves are the dried, unopened flower buds of an evergreen tree originally from the Maluku Islands of Indonesia, once among the most prized spices in the world. They bring an intense, warm, sweet-spicy flavor with a slightly numbing tingle and a deep, festive aroma. A little goes a long way in chai, holiday black teas, rooibos and mulled fruit blends, where clove works beautifully with cinnamon, orange peel and ginger. Blends with clove stand up well to milk and sugar.
Fennel seeds are the dried fruits of a feathery, yellow-flowered herb native to the Mediterranean and now grown in India and around the world. They have a sweet, gentle anise-like flavor with a warm, slightly licorice aroma that is softer than star anise. Fennel pairs well with chai spices, licorice, peppermint, chamomile and citrus in herbal blends, and it adds sweetness to rooibos and black tea. In India, candied fennel seeds are a traditional after-meal nibble offered to guests.
Ginger is the knobby root, or rhizome, of a tropical plant first grown in Southeast Asia and now cultivated in India, China and beyond. In the cup it brings a lively, peppery heat with a bright, zesty, slightly citrusy aroma that warms from the first sip. Ginger is one of the stars of chai and pairs well with black tea, green tea, rooibos and herbal blends, often alongside lemon, cinnamon, turmeric and peach. It is great hot with honey or brewed strong and served iced.
Peppermint is a natural hybrid of spearmint and watermint, native to Europe and the Middle East and now grown widely in places like Oregon and Washington. Its leaves brew a bold, cooling cup with a crisp, sweet, intensely minty aroma and a clean, lingering finish. Peppermint is wonderful on its own and pairs well with green tea, black tea, rooibos, chocolate, licorice and lemongrass. It is naturally caffeine-free as an herb, and it is equally refreshing hot after dinner or iced in summer.
Rosemary is an evergreen shrub native to the sunny Mediterranean coast, where its needle-like leaves are a beloved kitchen herb. In the cup it gives a fragrant, woody, pine-like aroma with a hint of camphor and a pleasant savory edge. A little goes a long way, so it is best used as an accent in herbal blends with lemon, mint, lavender or sage, or with green tea. Try pairing rosemary with citrus peel for a bright, aromatic iced tea.
Sage is a silvery-leaved herb native to the Mediterranean and treasured in European cooking for centuries. It brews a savory, earthy cup with a slightly peppery, camphor-like aroma and a pleasantly bitter finish. Sage works best as an accent in herbal blends with lemon, mint, rosemary or thyme, and it can also add depth to green tea. For a softer, brighter cup, add a slice of lemon and a spoonful of honey, or try it iced with citrus.

I tried this tea yesterday and I wasn’t sure what to expect as I’m so basic…. I ordered a whole bunch of teas that will help with inflammation and hopefully help my body and loose weight while I’m at it, this tea is delicious I didn’t add sugar or honey I drank it as is, the taste was mildly bitter but all in all very delicious

Even though the licorice root is 10th down on the list, it needs to be further as it is quite overpowering.
