Bluegreen drank Mint Verbena by Harney & Sons

212 tasting notes

A free sample sachet that has been sitting at the bottom of may tea cupboard for probably close to a year. It’s first time I tried a verbena/mint combination and I like it quite a bit. The mint often comes a bit flat and one-dimensional and in this case verbena adds to it a peak of pleasant piercing bitterness. The mint in this mix comes off as fresh, powerful and “three-dimensional”, with a good aftertatse.

I liked this blend quite a bit. It is well-balanced and does not taste lifeless, weak or processed as too many herbal teas that I tried. A solid non-caffeine tea.

I like to drink teas to recreate a specific mood, or just to take a break at work. The world of tea is so endless, patiently waiting for exploration and rewarding you in many ways big and small.

I am looking forward to years of playing with tea leaves, gaiwans, cups, and YouTube videos.

My ratings:

90 or more – a very good/excellent tea, I can see myself ordering it again.

80-89 – it is a good tea, I enjoyed it but not enough to reorder.

70-79 – an OK, drinkable tea but there are certainly much better options even in the same class/type.

60-69 – this tea has such major flaws that you have to force yourself to finish what you ordered.

<60 – truly horrible teas that must be avoided at all costs.
