Founded in 1972, the company derives its name from an entertaining aspect of tea folklore. In earlier centuries, tea was a valuable commodity traditionally transported by clipper ship. The ship's captain often was presented with some of the finest teas for his personal use. This supply was his "stash," stowed carefully as his "private reserve." Today, the term still is used to denote anything put away carefully because of its preciousness. This unique nectar-like tea is one of our most popular blends. Licorice, a root 50 times sweeter than sugar cane, has been combined with cinnamon, orange peel, star anise, and sarsaparilla for this delicious herbal tea. The naturally sweet dessert-like qualities of Stash Premium Licorice Spice Herbal Tea make it a perfect after dinner tea. Herbal teas contain no true tea leaves, but are created from an international collection of herbs and spices. These all natural botanical ingredients are combined to create exciting flavors and aromas in a rainbow of colors from pale yellow to deep red. Stash Tea has been committed to providing premium quality teas and an unsurpassed tea drinking experience. Stash begins with simply excellent tea leaves from the world's premier tea gardens and all natural botanical ingredients gathered from around the world. Meticulous blending and tasting of every tea ensures you will enjoy full flavor in every cup. | | | Features: | |

 Licorice Lovers--You must check this out!May 04, 2006
By Cheyenne Ann
"Ann"
Those of you who love licorice or anise flavor and who happen to be tea-drinkers, rejoice! This tea is so flavorful and aromatic. The anise/licorice flavor is intense. The tea is relatively sweet, so in my opinion, the addition of sweetener is not necessary, but you may want to add a little honey to it. This is not a wimpy tea, but full bodied and the longer you steep it, the stronger it gets.

Tried it...loved it...now my favorite herbal teaSep 26, 2006
By Richard Rychetsky
Based on the other review, I went and tried this tea. As a choir member, I am always interested in licorice products since they soothe a worn voice. However, many of the teas I have tried have too much ginger in it. I was pleasantly surprised when I tried this tea.
1) The licorice taste is subtle, but definitely present.
2) No sugar necessary. As a dentist, I love this. The licorice flavor doesn't jump out at you at first, but around 4 or 5 seconds after swallowing, the licorice "dances" around the sides of your tongue. I don't know how else to describe it, but it really does dance. I've never had that before. Brilliant!
3) It's best when over-steeped - like 10 minutes.
4) Most grocery stores I've been to carry this, so it's readily available should you find yourself staring at an empty box early in the evening.

This Tea is a Must TryOct 11, 2006
By The Vermont Gourmet
The flavors of this tea are spicy, rich and complex, but nothing stands out too strong screaming "this spice is overwhelming." When preparing ensure your water is sufficently heated and that you streep the tea for a minimum of 5-10 minutes.

 Rather weak and non-descript teaSep 25, 2009
By Les C. Rogers
There are several other Stash teas that I've tried and enjoyed. But this one is sort of feeble-tasting. Up until now, I've gotten the Yogi Tea Egyptian Licorice Yogi Tea Organic Egyptian Licorice, Tea Bags, 16-Count Boxes (Pack of 6)and that one actually has a bold licorice taste. And it is that one that is serving as the point of comparison to this Stash tea. Keep in mind that I don't add honey or any sweetner to my teas, so they have to stand on their own. This Stash Licorice Spice has a weak licorice taste and a weak spice taste. I have to use TWO teabags at a time (which makes the seemingly low price not so much a good deal).

One caveat...Apr 16, 2009
By Jenna sais quoi
This tea is great! It is very sweet on its own- I like to alternate drinking it with sips of water, which makes the licorice flavor even more pronounced!
Just use caution if you have high blood pressure or glaucoma. Licorice root can raise blood pressure. I don't have either condition, but after finding that out, decided that this was better as an occasional treat (as opposed to a daily ritual.)
