Tea 2 of facing my fears day! Unfortunately this one isn’t as much of a pleasant surprise as the first tea. This smells like SPEARMINT, like really hits you in the face with it. I really dislike spearmint which is weird because I love mint, but spearmint, just ick!!
In addition to smelling like spearmint this tastes like spearmint (kind of like spearmint orbit) and it has this weird feeling when I drink it. It kinda makes my mouth numb like mouthwash. So even if I liked spearmint that alone would be a major ick factor. I think I may have to give this tea away because I don’t know how I am gonna polish off 2oz of this. I can barely finish this cup.
But oh well…having fun trying teas I am scared of anyway!

I couldn’t drink the Adagio spearmint sample I had… I love peppermint, but spearmint is a whole ‘nother beast. It’s got a different sort of tingle to it.
Yeah – its kind of one of those things you like or you don’t
I had an epiphany in the car today- you could try blending it w/ an equal part watermelon black… or freeze a cup of watermelon and blend it w/ a cup of this chilled. :)
Hmm…that does sound pretty good
I would normally suggest using 2x the leaf when you use any other than tea cubes for ices, but since you aren’t big on spearmint, maybe you shouldn’t.
Haha – yeah probably not… for me the appeal of watermelon would be diluting the spearmint flavor – haha
True lol. I just think the combo would be amazing. I want to try making a matcha version- 1/2 cup frozen watermelon, 1/2 cup 2x strength mint tisane, 1tsp matcha :)
Thats sounds pretty yummy – I still have yet to try matcha though
You should! Like now=D hehe
Its definitely on my teas to try list!
Do you have a Jamba Juice near you? They have it.
Unfortunately no, but I’ll remember that – thanks!
