Review of Egyptian Licorice

This blend was far too sweet for me, which is perhaps understandable given that licorice is naturally sweet, and it was the first and main ingredient, and the second ingredient was cinnamon bark, which is also naturally sweet.
Aroma is dominately licorice but has much complexity. I notice the cinnamon too, but have trouble discerning the other ingredients.
Leaves interesting sensations on the palate...pleasant and slightly tingly.
I did not enjoy it though because I am used to drinking my teas unsweetened and I found the sweetness cloying. I recommend this one only to people who normally like to enjoy adding sugar or other sweeteners to their tea--and I recommend tasting it before sweetening it because it is VERY sweet on its own.
Also, as a second note, licorice is known to raise blood pressure, so if you have high blood pressure, I also recommend avoiding this one.
