I’m not the greatest fan of mint tea. I mean, it’s okay, but it’s pretty dull on the whole. This one is a blend of spearmint and peppermint, which raises it a little higher in my estimation – I like spearmint a lot more than peppermint in flavour terms. A nice thing about this blend is that it’s actually green when you brew it. The majority of mint teas I’ve had have been sludgy brown affairs, so it’s always nice to see a fresh-looking cup. I guess the brown is at least partly oxidisation, so I’m not quite sure how it’s been avoided here, but I’m glad it has!
In flavour terms, it’s exactly as you’d expect. Mint, tingly and cool. The spearmint adds an additional edge of sweetness, but the peppermint is definitely the dominant flavour. As mint teas go, this is a good one.
