Yuck. I’m a big fan of peppermint and love minty candies, dishes, and desserts, but this had an underlying yuck factor I can’t quite describe. It was muddy rather than bright and refreshing – a great mint POW up front but then a dirtiness right after. I made it for my partner who had a queasy stomach and she really enjoyed it.
I’m refraining from rating this one yet as the problem might be me. I’m frequently problematic.
Here are the things I drink: Tea, water, coffee, beer, whiskey, wine.
I’ve been drinking tea since I was a little girl, but only recently began learning about tea and drinking loose leaf.
I prefer unflavored tea to flavored, tea leaves to tisanes, but I’m not inflexible and will try nearly anything.
I’m still learning, so thank you in advance for your patience and your help.
Also, I had to come up with a way to quantify my ratings because I was being really inconsistent:
100-90: Delicious, must keep in stock.
89-80: Excellent, a definite reorder.
79-70: Good, an occasional reorder.
69-50: Pleasant, but it was a one night stand.
49-30: Not good, but drinkable.
29-20: Bad, but I finished the cup.
19-10: Terrible. Couldn’t finish a cup.
10 and below: Undrinkable, requires mouthwash and counseling.

“I’m frequently problematic” HAHAHA That’s totally something I would say. And it’s true about me too. Love it.
