After reading reviews on Steepster, I bought a 250g bag of this without ever trying it. First cup was this morning. “Here we go….” I thought.
I must admit, I’m kinda disappointed. Not enough not to finish the bag. But I saw one of the ingredients were mint leaves…and I LOVE MINT. I might be mildly obsessed, but it makes my tummy and my brain happy so leave me alone, dammit :) This tea didn’t taste much like mint, at least not in the first cup (maybe the leaves all settled to the bottom…I’ll try shaking the bag before the next cup). Sure, a bit of an after-taste of mint and a bit of the cooling feeling of mint, but not much mint FLAVOUR. The lemongrass flavour was very prominent but not over-powering. It was a nice balance. The actual tea had a really nice flavour.
So, my disappointment with the tea isn’t real disappointment, I guess. The tea is DARN GOOD. And I’m really happy I bought it. But…mint :( I’ll still gladly finish the bag, and if it’s ever on sale again I would definitely buy more.
