drank spearmint by Harney & Sons

I am a lover of mint juleps. While this tea isn’t quite the same as a julep, it does have a refreshing taste and fragrance that helps take the edge off of the summer heat. I tried hot and cold. It was fine both ways but with the warm weather, I especially enjoyed this tea chilled. The spearmint flavor really comes through. The tea it self is almost the consistency of a matcha, so be careful with the infuser. If you like spearmint, you won’t be disappointed. Prior to this I was buying McCormick and Bigalow’s Plantation Mint. This is far better than McCormick and while PM was’t a bad tea, the Harney’s blend is easily my favorite.
In fact, I think this will end up being one of my summer favorites, besting Harney’s Black Currant and Organic Coconut iced teas.

Bio

Where to start? I am cuddlesmom in honor of the most amazing dachshund/terrier that ever lived (she lasted 19 years, passing away in 2015). Otherwise, I am a history teacher, wife and ardent Bond fan (Dalton being my favorite Bond on the screen).

I dabble in writing romance and suspense, (though the muse has gone on what appears to be an indefinite vacation as of late). I just finished reading A Gentleman in Moscow & have to say what a fun read that was!

As far as tea goes, I have been a dabbler for a longtime but since I recently discovered Harney & Sons in Target, I’ve gotten hooked on it. Since that first tin, I find myself more and more interested in trying new types of tea.

The Harney site, with its free shipping and samples, is a very dangerous place indeed.

As for my ratings, they are based on a standard scale: 100= Flawless perfection, 99-90= Excellent, 89-80= Above Average, 79-70= Average, 69-60= Below Average, 59-below Failing, poor tea IMO.

Irish Breakfast is my black non-flavored go to tea, raspberry has been pushed out by Harney’s Goji Fruit tea as my favorite fruit tea. I am starting to do more green teas and have just ordered my first oolong, so we will see how it goes.
