Grabbed a mug of this while waiting for the preschooler to dress. From the sounds of toys hitting the floor upstairs, I don’t think that is going to happen. But hopefully the mug will fortify me for the trip to the market. This tea was a gift but it’s not for me. Maybe the market will have something to replace it in my shelves.

The package said to use boiled water and steep for 4. As with others in the sampler box, the tea bags have fine ground leaves in them. From past experience with this one, I steeped for 3 minutes at 175. I don’t have much favorable to say about this one. There is a mint aftertaste but also a flavor that reminds me of dust. I’m reminded of chewing on wintermint while hiking in the forest. Sadly not a winner but hopefully my afternoon tea will make up for it!

Flavors: Dirt, Dust, Mint

Bio

In the early 2000’s, my brother worked for a grocery company that removed items from the shelves and I ended up with a cabinet filled with random tea.

After I finished that cabinet, I started trying new things and exploring the world of tea. Still exploring, still learning, and loving this community.

I tend to take my tea with no additions and quite hot. Though often I find myself having to reheat my mug due to distractions. I’m partial to herbals, white tea, green, and blacks. But I really will try anything once.

Rankings:
100-80 Love in varying degrees
79- 60 Good, but in the friendzone
60-50 Ok, would drink if offered
49-20 Don’t make me try it again!
19-0 Didn’t finish!
