Spice Up Your Life!

Saffron is the most expensive spice in the world. In addition to its culinary uses, this ancient herb has also been touted for its health benefits.

This Saffron Tea by Taja Tea was gifted to me by a friend a few years ago (but I only opened the packaging recently so I think it's still good...). According to the box cover, the "Virtues of Saffron" include: "vitality, anti-oxidant, anti-depressant, relieves anxiety, promotes better mood".

 The "energy tea" was a blend of green tea, white tea, passion fruit flavor, saffron.

 The tea had a mild fruity aroma and I could taste its sweet fruit flavour.
But I was unable to discern the spiciness of saffron...What does saffron taste like to you?
So I just enjoyed it as a fruity tea.
