I brewed a cup with the loose-leaf and the warming spices come through without drowning out the black tea base. The 0.35 oz pouch is smaller than I expected but a little goes a long way, so it's lasting me a while.

The aroma hits you the second you open the pouch—bold, spicy, and unmistakably warming. I've been brewing a teaspoon in my morning pot and the black tea base holds up beautifully without turning bitter, even after a few minutes of steeping.

The loose-leaf format means I can control the strength, and a tiny pinch of these warming spices fills the whole kitchen with that cozy, market-like aroma. It's become my afternoon ritual.
