Mint Brook Meadow Teas

Tasted like a generic chamomile tea, you could only get a slight hint of the spearmint on the back end of the sip.

This tea is made with air-dried scotch spearmint (mentha x gracilis).

Has a very mild and soothing aroma and taste. I get plenty of earthy notes from this tea, and I would say that it has a slight sweetness as well if sipped slowly. Brought water to just under boiling. I wish that this were a loose tea.

It is great!

me encanta, principalmente frio y en verano!!!!

This is much, much better with brown sugar than with white sugar. When I had it with white sugar, all I could taste was the peppermint, which was so strong it caused my throat to tighten and made swallowing difficult. But with the brown sugar (and brewed in a mug than I normally use) it turned into a very nice, tummy-soothing tea that also goes well with chocolates. It’s not the best mint blend tea I’ve had, but it’s the best for its price range.

OK, I tried this with brown sugar instead of white sugar and that has dramatically improved the taste. Now, it’s quite a smooth-drinking tea. I may try it iced some day.

I just read about Russian tea and Russian Tea Culture in “The Story of Tea” by Mary & Robert J. Heiss. This tea tastes nothing like the descriptions I read. However, it is a mellow citrus-black tea with a hint of cinnamon. Don’t use milk.

I originally gave this a ratingof 41.

I was given a few teabags from a friend, and now I love this stuff. The mint is grown less than 100 miles from my house. I finally found somewhere i can purchase this.
