The first time I had this I had just bought the one iced cup to go from DT. Unfortunately they use so much ice that if you’re not a fast drinker you will only taste the tea in the first 3-4 sips after which you will get a very watered down version as your ice melts.
Now that I bought my own and can brew myself we can talk about it. I don’t think I would enjoy this warm. There is just something about it. I’ve had warm mint teas that are fabulous but I need ice in this one. It is good but I have not decided how I feel about the coconut in there. Sure, it adds another flavour dimension and it makes it different but I find it distracting. Just give me mint, son, don’t confuse things.
1.25 tsp for 8 oz, near boiling water. I get mostly mint and coconut, my taste buds need a lot of convincing that there is other stuff in here. I don’t get the Rooibos in the blend, which is just dandy by me!
I will not be replacing this when it’s gone although it is enjoyable. It is very enjoyable if you happen to be wilfully trapped away from home for an entire day, out in the sun, and you’ve made yourself two large travel jugs worth of stuff. You have no choice but to drink it and it is refreshing provided it is well chilled.

If you’re looking for a good minty tea to try hot, then I’d recommend Santa’s Secret. I believe they added the coconut and citrus to Mint Julep so that it wouldn’t simply be a summer clone of Santa’s Secret ;)
Someone else recommended Santa’s Secret a month or so ago. Now I’ll have to try it, it’s a sign :) (one of the really good mint teas I’ve had is Butiki’s Peppermint Patty)
You definitely should; it’s one of my favourites! Though they’ve currently sold out on the website and it apparently won’t be back til Christmastime. Luckily I stocked up on 250g when the tea was available for the awesome $14.50/250g web special!
Ugh. Same with banana dream pie. I tried to stock up during the special but although the tea was listed, there was the “out of stock” button. I can wait, it’s ok
Hmm. I had thought against the Mint Julep, because while I like Minty teas, I am not huge on them, but Coconut with Mint….that makes the idea intriguing to me.
