This tea's acceptability to one's palate really comes down to whether one enjoys licorice. If the unexpected flavour of licorice in your cup of tea is a welcome and pleasant surprise you may well enjoy this tea. If it is not, or if you object to licorice being a prominent flavour (more so than lemon) without being advertised as such, this tea won't make the grade. I fall in the latter camp. I was expecting a melodic blend of lemon and chamomile only to find that licorice (which, it turns out, is the second ingredient), overpowers them both. Even if I enjoyed licorice, I would have been puzzled by the total lack of its advertisement on the packaging.
The flavour ends up being a sort of semi-sweetness that lingers on the sides of the tongue. The calming effects associated with chamomile are present but delivered via an aroma and flavour that doesn't smell or taste as a calming tea should. This is a licorice-spiked flavour sensation that produces a chamomile effect afterwards. There's a disconnection in this that I am not keen to experience again.
