Sipdown of this one. I was pretty excited about getting this sample with my order, but it turned out not to be as great as I’d hoped. It’s just not particularly well-balanced. The spearmint and clove are way too strong, overpowering everything else. I also think this would have been better with peppermint instead of spearmint, but that’s a second-order complaint. I ended up cutting it with straight hojicha to get a more balanced cup. That worked pretty well – the roastiness of the hojicha (a flavor missing in the blend itself because of the imbalance) combined well with the mint and clove.

I didn’t love this one either, too much spearmint and no hojicha. :(
