We got a new office coffee machine that uses packets, so of course I couldn’t resist testing out a tea packet. I don’t trust the machine to actually make it without contaminating the brew with some residual coffee, so instead I cut the packet open and brewed the leaf in a metal steeper. Unsurprisingly, the leaf is dust. A lot of it actually slipped through the fine mesh strainer and ended up in my mug. Yet the final product was surprisingly good for dust! It’s got a clear and fresh mintiness, reminiscent of gum or mouthwash in a good way. Not the best peppermint I’ve had, but entirely potable. I’m now curious whether the green tea packet is passable, as well as whether the machine can actually brew this properly.
