Standard high-methanol mint tea. I didn’t even know there was any spearmint in it as I can only taste very cooling peppermint. I enjoyed my many cups of this, and will enjoy the other dozen or so pyramid sachets I have.
Note: this gets very strong if brewed hot for more than 3 minutes, although it tastes great hot or cold and straight or with milk. I found vanilla soy milk tasted best (tried rice milk, almond milk, and vanilla soy milk).
Flavors: Menthol, Mint, Peppermint
Preparation
This tea is one of my absolute favorite night time teas. It calms me down and soothes me so much. On some nights – especially when my sinuses are acting up – it’s so nice to add a drop or two of lemon juice and a bit of honey. It’s my current replacement for sleepytime tea.
Flavors: Vanilla
Preparation
This tea tasted nothing like pumpkin spice to me, it tasted more like nutmeg tea than pumpkin spice. I love nutmeg, it a fun ingredient to use when cooking but it is extremely potent and a little goes a long way. Personally this just wasn’t a great tea to me. I’m going to finish off the box but I wouldn’t label this as a true pumpkin spice but a nutmeg based chai.
Flavors: Nutmeg
Preparation
Wanted something quick and different, so I grabbed this bag out of the ancient random leftovers I save to spring on my Sunday kids. By ancient, we’re talking several years, so I wasn’t expecting much. The fact that the flavoring hasn’t turned to pure chemicals is notable. None of the three fruits stands out singularly, but together, it’s a nice little fruit punch blend for a spring evening watching the cottonwood snow on the back yard.
Husband picked me up this tasty little treat when the weather was beastly hot a few weeks ago, so my experience with the first half of the box was all chilled (wonderfully fruity and sweet).
Weather’s shifted a little bit and we’re getting a illicitly luscious sneak of fall-ish temperatures, so I just had my first hot cup. Still wonderfully fruity and sweet, almost cotton candy scented. Very little grassy green in the background, which isn’t a downside for me. Perfect for a late summer feet-up.
Much better than Bigelow’s bagged decaf EG. The nasty glue-like flavor of decaf black tea is much diminished and the bergamot oil tastes fresh and strong. I drank it without milk today and liked it fine. Good at work, when I’m craving a second cuppa but don’t need the caffeine boost.
