Having lived in Miami for a few years, I'm quite familiar with and mostly a big fan of this brand of spices. They do justice to their spice line with this tea. I've only tried a few anise teas, but theirs is the richest, by far. Every time I go, I bring some back; fortunately it's available commonly in the local chain stores there such as Publix or Winn-Dixie.

If you don't like anise or licorice, avoid this tea; it's dutifully strong and not at all subtle or diluted or pretending to be something else. Although I sweeten all my tea, I put only half the usual into this one. They consistently seem to bring in good batches of star anise from wherever it's imported, and it shows in the body and potency of a long-brewed cup. Well done, Badia.
