Got this one in For Tea’s Sake’s “Festive Sampler” – to be perfectly honest, had it not been in the sample I 100% would NOT have bought it.
So, those who’ve been around Steepster for a while know that while I don’t have any issues with mint I don’t generally drink straight peppermint. Aside from the fact that it’s kind of boring, I had a REALLY bad peppermint experience years ago where I found maggots in a specific tea company’s pure peppermint. I 100% will NOT touch that company’s straight peppermint anymore – but I don’t blame the company itself. I mean, tea is a botanical product and stuff like that is just bound to happen every now and then. Shit happens. Still, it’s left me in a spot where straight peppermint teass send me back to that experience and I get the stomach wibby wobblys.
In fact – before I brewed this one up I emptied out the sample tin of it and just looked through the leaf. Just in case…
Once I was assured this was good to go, it actually wasn’t bad though. I mean, there is the aforementioned thing where as a flavour it’s kind of boring – HOWEVER, I did think that this one in particular was pretty smooth and fresh, and thought it packed a pretty good minty punch while still having that relaxing quality a good peppermint tea should have. It’s because of that relaxing quality that this will probably be my last tea of the night ’cause boy am I tired now! And good thing too, I work really early in the morning tomorrow and I really ought to be getting to bed…
That’s horrible, and If that happened to me I’d have a hard time not blaming the tea company.
Jesus, peppermint tea is something I always consider buying so I wonder which company you’re talking about…
I do not recall this maggot issue and I think I probably blocked it out because that is unsettling to say the least
The review is definitely still up on Steepster, so with enough digging you could 100% find it. But if anyone is really concerned, shoot me a PM and I’ll tell you privately which company it was.
