Mr. Tea drank Organic Peppermint Infusion by Highgrove Teas

116 tasting notes

Coconut. I have no idea why I am smelling coconut every time I take a sachet out of the Tea cylinder. It definitely has peppermint too. Maybe organic peppermint actually smells like this and I am used to lower quality peppermint.

My first cup of this tea and I was distracted by the coconut like smell the entire time I was drinking it. I am on my third cup today and it isn’t as bad as the first day, but still a bit odd. I will update upon further sampling.

I don’t have a sensitive palate but I do tend to shy away from harsh and bitter flavors. For instance, I can’t stand raw celery and olives – the smell/taste is way too intense. I find coffee to be too muddy/earthy, tea is light and crisp.

I find plain, black tea to be either too bitter or a bit too bland – unless I’m adding cream and sugar. I love flavored black teas; flavored rooibos is great as an evening drink; and light, grassy green teas are wonderful. Oolong and Pu-erh teas are good too but haven’t had as much exposure to them. White teas I’m still on the fence – one day I hope I’ll find one that I’ll like. I don’t like the spiced teas (e.g. chai)

My Grading Scale:
80-100 – Excellent Teas. These are the Teas I crave all the time, even when trying out new teas.

60-79 – Good Teas. I drink these occasionally.

50-59 – Passing Grade. These are worth a try again

Below 50 – Would not recommend, and probably will never try again
