I was recently introduced to fennel tea and love it. So far, in my short pipe smoking history, I find that my favorite tobaccos contain latakia. I've also found that fennel tea complements the latakia very nicely.
Does the tea taste exactly how I think it does? I can't stand that licorice taste in stuff. Latakia however, is amazing and makes me want to try this combo.
I love fennel tea, the licorice qualities aren't too intense. I can picture the tea refreshing the palate when smoking something heavy like Three Oaks or Vintage Syrian.
Thanks for the tip.
