New Tasting Notes
Excellent when I need to relax after a frustrating day.
A comment on The Tea Garden itself, though: I am unimpressed with how a professional tea store stores their teas in glass containers and packages teas that customers have bought in bags with plastic windows. Customers can store their own tea however they want, but a store that makes its business out of selling teas should be protecting them properly from light, not just air.
I would often mix this in a 1:2 ratio (1 being the peppermint) with Teavana’s Chinese Honey Dew White tea. I had a lot of trouble figuring out exactly how to brew it, considering the significant difference in brewing methods for white teas and tisanes. But when I occasionally did get it just right, I called it my “happiness tea”. It’s been a looong time since I’ve made this blend for myself, though.
I can’t remember how I liked the peppermint tea on its own, though.

I’m not usually a big green tea drinker, but I like this green tea with ginseng. Normally I drink black teas with sweetener, but for this I use only a small amount or sweetener or none at all. The bags are individually wrapped which makes it easier to transport. This was a good tea for drinking on campus while grading homework.
