We reimagined the quintessential New Mexican cookie as a tea, and it's muy sabrosa. Anise seed's earthen sweetness make biscochito cookies distinct and memorable, and this deep and cozy green tea equally provides a warming experience. Roasted green tea leaves and spices form a brew with enough body to withstand a splash of milk, if so inclined.

Extra Info:

Did you know that not only does each state in the union have their own representative bird, flower, tree and flag but that there are also a state cookie?! For New Mexico, that's the Biscochito! These spicy, anise-flavored cookies were first introduced to Mexico by Spanish settlers who brought the recipe from Spain; however the biscochito was only declared the official state cookie by the New Mexico Legislature in 1989. State symbols represent the cultural heritage & natural treasures of each state. The trend for state symbols started with a "National Garland of Flowers" created for the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago, made of representative flowers from each state.

Brewing Instructions:

Bring filtered or spring water to 180°F. Add 1 tsp of tea leaves to an 8oz cup. Pour boiling water over the tea leaves and let steep 2-3 minutes.

Ingredients:

  • Green tea, Roasted Green Tea, Roasted Rice, Anise Seeds, Cinnamon, Calendula Petals, Sunflower Petals, Natural Flavors

For years I’ve enjoyed the tea selection from New Mexico Tea Company. This is my first review because I had to express my opinion. The bischochito blend is absolutely fantastic! Just from the aroma while steeping, I’m savoring a delicious state cookie treat. Plus it goes well with my historical romance set in the New Mexico Territory….which mentions the famous cookie. Thanks for creating this amazing tea!

This tea is a hands down favorite! It is quintessential New Mexico and one of my go-to comfort drinks. The flavor and smell are both incredible. Multiple cups - guilty!!

I absolutely love this tea. It tastes just like the cookie. My favorite thing about dessert teas from NM tea co is that I can drink all of my favorite desserts in the form of teas!

I wanted to like this tea and was excited to try it bit found the smell offensive and even though I tried the tea several times, I was not a fan. I can't pinpoint what I don't like about it- I am wondering if it is just the type of green tea for me.

Wow, really does taste like biscochito. I am on my first cup of this, but I love it. It's a mild tea, hint of a malty flavour, with the spicy overtones (not overbearing) of the cookie.

This tea is such a treat! With a splash of milk and dash of sugar it becomes a dessert in its own right. Absolutely lovely!

I bought this because I was intrigued, like biscochitos and green tea. The tea itself doesn't taste bad, but the smell is quite offensive to my nose. Can't describe it well beyond not enjoyable. I've tried it several times now thinking perhaps I brewed it wrong. It doesn't seem this is the tea for me.

Wow, I am delighted with this blend. I don't usually go for dessert-flavored tea but I was craving a little taste of home so I took a risk. It's a perfect balance of toasty and spicy, with the green tea blend adding the sweetness and creaminess. I only regret that I didn't order more.
