The star anise and cardamom really come through once it steeps, and the cacao rounds out the spice instead of dominating it. I love that it’s organic too, so I don’t mind having a second cup in the evening.

I’ve been steeping this every afternoon and the star anise really comes through first, then the cacao smooths it all out. The loose leaves are generous and give a deep, rich cup that doesn’t turn bitter even after five minutes.

The star anise and cardamom really come through the moment you open the bag, and the cacao adds a mellow richness that makes this my new afternoon ritual. Brewed with a splash of milk, it's cozy without being too sweet.
