This is a signature blend created by Lilly T. A tea blended in honor of my mother, who loves pu-erh and spices and anise. She never adds sweetener to her tea. "Tea with Sugar" refers to her sweet and quirky flame point siamese cat, Sugar. Sugar adores Mom, and is a constant companion. He also loves anise, and has been known to get into her cabinet when she has anise-flavored cookies!
