This tea came from carol who and I’ve been excited to try this one. I just wanted to be sure I would have time to enjoy it.
Oh, just opening the little plastic baggie this tea came in was heavenly. Spearmint is my favorite of the mints, and this definitely smells spearmint. Mmmm. The difference between the spearmint and the gunpowder leaves in the tea is immediately apparent, and they’re in an almost perfect balance. Beautiful.
Lifting the infusion basket out of the mug, and I’m hit with the scent of the spearmint. Dreamy. I let it rest a moment and just inhale the smells. Oh the smells. My nose is happy, but my mouth is waiting.
The first sip. The spearmint envelops me. I love it. Then I taste the gunpowder, just faintly, and it has that almost coppery aftertaste. Mmmm. The next sip, I taste the green grassy flavor a little more, and it still ends slightly metallic.
Now this, this is a splendid cup of tea.
Thank you, carol who!!!
