drank Minted Monkey by Tippy's Tea
768 tasting notes

I decided I absolutely deserved to finally open my new pouch of Minted Monkey. I think of this as an afternoon or evening dessert tea, but heck, who says you can’t have dessert with your mid morning break? I opened a box of my new Girl Scout shortbread cookies to go with it. Mmm… Delicious! Compared to the Oolong I had for breakfast this tea seems quite strong. (and maybe I used a little more leaves this time) But just as smooth as my sample from my last order. So glad I have this one back in the cupboard!

Ahh, tea and Girl Scout cookies! Sounds like a wonderful combination.

HOLD UP. GIRL GUIDES HAVE BEEN SPOTTED?! The most magical time of year has begun?!

Indeed. At least, here in Fargo ND, the little entrepreneurs are hard at work, destroying diets and selling bliss everywhere. Those shortbread cookies would go well with ANY tea I think!

Gaaaaaaah. You lucky US people, you! I’m in Canada, and I’ve only ever seen the chocolate / vanilla sandwiches and the thin mints—which, to be fair, are my weakness, always and forever. But oh, for the VARIETY. . .

Fjellrev

I agree, sweetea! Actually, I’ve only seen the chocolate and vanilla sandwiches around. Man, those vanilla ones are addictive. Wish you can get only those.

I wish they sold them online in Canada :(

Maddy Barone

You don’t get Girl Scout cookies up north??? That explains why so many of my Thunder Bay and Winnipeg friends stock up when they come down. :( :( :(

Fjellrev

Yeah, not sure why they don’t have more variety up here. Or at least have a company sell something comparable to a thin mint, because they sound fabulous.

Bio

I love cats. I love alone time. I love sitting indoors on a cold winter night with a book or my knitting while drinking tea. I don’t have a sense of smell, so many of the more subtle flavors of tea escape me. Two of the things I CAN taste are bitter and sour, so any tea that has even a slightly bitter taste is nasty for me. And what others might perceive as pleasant tartness may be horribly sour for me.

I’m also a writer. I love writing, and a mug of hot tea helps me get through the hours sitting in front of the computer. Although I’m a comparatively new tea drinker, I’m jumping in feet first. Feel free to recommend any teas you think I might enjoy.

100-91 – Wowza! I want to keep this tea in the cupboard all the time.
75-90 – Very nice. It would be good to have this tea on hand from time to time.
60-74 – OK. Wouldn’t keep it in the cupboard, but I would drink it again.
45-59 – If a friend served this I would drink it to be polite, but it’s not really my cuppa.
Lower than 45 – Blech. It was too sour or bitter for my taste. Would not drink it again.
