I was a little worried about this one, as I tend not to like spiced teas, but I was also very curious to try such a traditional blend. So glad I took the chance! This tea is awesome. Mint is the dominant flavor — and it’s an excellent mint, very close in scent and flavor to the mint I find growing wild — with the spices nicely rounding it out rather than competing with it. I think fennel might be the spice I taste the most but there is also something I can’t quite identify. Maybe the cardamom. I’m not familiar enough with cardamom to be sure. The green tea is so light in this that to me it comes across more as an herbal tea; on the whole, it’s very soothing and refreshing, a great tea to unwind with.

Not Really My Style:
spices (except for ginger. ginger rocks)
chai (because, you know, the spices)
rooibos (I don’t get it. Everyone seems psyched for it. Not me).
those smoky teas, like lapsang souchong, though once in a while I’ll need something really strong and then I like them.
