Mint Punch

If you asked me before the Toronto Tea Festival what one of the teas I’d be least likely to buy way I probably would have listed stuff like straight green teas or “cupboard classics” like mint teas, and yet one of the teas I ended up most excited about was this blend of different mints…

I think what most excited me (and made this an immediate purchase) is that it’s a blend of mints but none of them are the types of mint you would typically see in a mint tea like peppermint or spearmint. Instead they’re all SUPER specific varietals like banana mint and mojito mint. The resulting cup is intense and, like the name implies, punchy with a deeply cooling finish but also a really fruity undertone and lean that is so unexpected and refreshing!

I can’t even remember the last time a mint tea excited me the way this one does. I say constantly that mint teas (though delicious) are some of the most boring and predictable and this is really anything but that. I enjoyed it greatly and now I have a desperate need to taste straight banana mint because dang that sounds fascinating.
