Pleasant surprise, this one! I thought this would smell and taste über weird. Who wants to drink 90s cucumber melon lotion? I pretty much got all the new ones except Pom Tango since it’s a repeat and Peaches ‘n’ Cream since it smelled off to me.

And my, is the teaware ever adorable. It would be so hard to choose just one, but ultimately, I’d go with the tentacles.

But as for Cool Cucumber, this is quite heavy on the spearmint, both in scent and flavour. Hot, both the spearmint and melon are competing with each other, but in a healthy way. No shoving or knives involved here. This is such a crisp, fresh blend. I don’t really get cucumber from it, but you automatically associate the melon here with it, and the general crispness suggests fresh cucumber.

By the way, I asked the sales associate about next month’s TOTM and she was sheepish to give away any extra details even though I already said I know what it is. I asked if she could verify if they added lemongrass to it, and she wouldn’t tell me! Blargh.

I have Blue Lagoon cold brewing so we’ll see how that turns out tomorrow morning.

Thanks for the note on this one! I’m so excited to try it! did you take it straight?

Fjellrev

Yep, hot and no additives. It’s better than I expected hot. I thought it would only make a decent iced tea.

Rosehips

Oooh! I’m so glad you reviewed this, as this one sounded really interesting.

Thank you for confirming spearmint! I asked in-store, and the girl said it wasn’t really minty. Spearmint is definitely something I need to stay away from. :)

Fjellrev

You can’t do any kind of mint? I’m surprised she said that, because it’s almost like chewing on a stick of Wrigley’s spearmint gum. Sorry it ruined it for you!

I hate hate hate spearmint, and my BFF is throat-closingly allergic to peppermint. So while I have a couple pepperminty teas, it’s something I tend to avoid. :) Wintergreen and eucalyptus and stuff like that is fine tho.

Nightshifter

Oh I love the tentacle teaware! Lucky you! :)

Fjellrev

I didn’t buy it! But it is oh so tempting. I told myself that I can only get it if it goes on sale. :)
