jump62359 drank Spearmint by Adagio Teas

726 tasting notes

I gave this a rating of 55 last time and I honestly don’t remember rating this at all?
Ahh well. I’ve got a massive headache and I wanted to get through my sipdowns so DAVIDs Peppermint Amour was a no go since I have like TONS of that tea.
I turned to Adagio’s Spearmint and hey, it’s minty and it’s tea so I’m attempting to cure my headache.
Dry leaves smell like spearmint.
Steeping smells like burnt mint.
Tasting smells like…. burnt mint.

Dang it lost its minty brightness. No wonder why I rated this at 55, I think it should stay that way. Alone it tastes not good at all, but I’ve blended this with other teas, and the Loki blend from Cara (Spearmint, vanilla rooibos, gunpowder) is definitely one of my favourites. Well, I’m happy I got rid of this tea :) I think spearmint will always and forever taste good in blends, and peppermint is always a great tea to have on hand. Peppermint is great on its own, spearmint not so much.

I’ve also been using my DAVIDsTEA filters because ain’t nobody got time to wash the strainers and whatnot with this massive headache!
And apparently my roommate’s friend was going through my instagram looking at my photos and apparently I’m cute?? Hhaha yeah well, I get that a lot. She stopped at a photo of my friend and I in Morocco in Epcot wearing fezzes because we deemed that day as Doctor Who day and we went to Morocco to wear fezzes and to the UK to take photos at the Telephone Boxes. We looked like freaks, but there were other people wearing Doctor Who shirts, and we actually saw an Eleven and an Amy Pond so that was fun! But yeah. Now I’m drinking out of my Epcot Spaceship Earth mug because MEMORIES.

It’s such a tough mug to drink out of because the lip of it is so thick and the ridges make me dribble wow I’m an actual 5 year old child.

Tea rating guide:
100-95: Best thing to ever touch my mouth and I want more. Restocking is a must
94-80: Love this tea. Restock if I can
79-70: Decent tea. Neither love nor hate.
69-60: I won’t be upset when it runs out. I’ll drink it but won’t restock.
59-30: I’ve done whatever I can to like this tea and I’ll finish the cup.
29-10: I’ve done whatever I can to like this tea. It may or may not have gone down the sink…
9-below: Let’s not even hide it. This definitely went down the drain.

I love tea.
I drink it.
I log it.
I have a good time.
Lather, rinse, repeat.

I first discovered my love for tea with jasmine teas because that’s all my mother would buy, so for the longest time, I thought that all teas were jasmine! And then in 4th grade, I watched the tea episode of Good Eats and that’s when the education started! I’d like to blame Alton Brown for starting this obsession because now I only like loose leaf tea.
It wasn’t until my second year of college that I actually expanded my tea taste buds. Special shout out to Cara McGee, Tea Queen for her Adagio Fandom blends. Because of Cara, I actually started drinking blacks, herbals and whites and pretty much everything else in between. I still have a special love for my jasmine though :)
I (try to) drink tea daily. Usually just straight up, no sugar or milk. This little obsession started young and just… kept going, I guess.

also I apologize in advance for lazy tasting notes and horrible grammar in everything I write. I was an avid fandom blogger on tumblr and tumblr talk can get in the way of everything kthxbai
