I was so full after supper that something pepperminty was in order. This is my last bag of this tea (“But why is the tea always gone?”) and luckily I ran out just in time for me to get a new round of Christmas teas from the grocery stores.
Preparation
Oooh, that sounds like a fun little shopping spree. This is about the time that Ghirardelli comes out with their Peppermint Bark.
CRACK COCAINE. FORM OF CHOCOLATE.

… I’m so going to gain a million pounds this Christmas, aren’t I?
I made this last night and stuck it in the fridge to cool. I’m honestly not sure if I like it more this way or hot.
At first, when it hits the tongue the peppermint seems amplified, but further back on the tongue the flavour of vanilla slowly builds. The last, the tail I suppose, is of a rather nutty green tea.
Preparation
Anybody want to start a Vanilla Vogue? XD
Okay so this tea isn’t pure vanilla, but there are nice vanilla notes complimenting the peppermint. I’m almost finished this box of tea so I’m really hoping that they’ll have it out again for this Christmas.
Preparation
I was over at my parents’ place for supper tonight and my mom gave me what was left of her box of this tea. The odor of the brewed tea is actually of vanilla, not mint so much, and it’s very pleasent and soothing. I love how the mint is distinct but it’s softened, not mouth-numbingly overpowering like so many mints teas are. There are distinct green tea/herbal flavours mixed in as well as the faintest hint of vanilla. It makes a great drink around bed time (the green tea is decaf).
Actually, I was thinking that this might be a good tea to try icing as well. I’ll have to experiment wih that.
