This was a pleasant relaxing tea. The main taste I get out of it is the mint. It’s not super strong but it evens everything out and makes it refreshing. While I like my fruity herbals it is nice to have something a little on the lighter side before bed once in a while.

The boyfriend surprised me when the dog and I got back from our morning walk. He went, “I thought this one would go well with breakfast!” As he plates eggs and bacon for the two of us. This may be because we had a sort of heated conversation last night, lol.

On to the tea:
He was right, it did go well with breakfast. Perfect for a fall-ish morning. I don’t quite think it is fall here in Missouri yet but it was less than 50 degrees on the walk so it’s coming. It smelled of cinnamon and had a pleasant taste. I am happy that I enjoyed a black tea but don’t think I will be ordering more of it.

Re steeping the leaves and adding to the first slightly over steeped bath worked well. I let it chill overnight and put it over ice this morning. Added a couple Truvia packets and it pulls out a very refreshing note which I think would be mint as this is mojito? I used a lot of leaf to make this so if I plan on keeping it around I’ll need bulk!

It is not letting me drag the preparation items (I’m on my phone) so, below (mostly to help me recreate) is how I prepared.
10 tsp leaf
20 is ounces
Steep for 3 (?) Min first steep, second 1.5 min
Put both steeps in my glass jug
Chill overnight
Truvia

After becoming nearly addicted to this tea-lemonade from Starbucks, I finally ordered this. Sadly, I forgot to set a timer! As a result it has a little of a funny taste. I have it cooling in the jug now. I’m thinking of resteeping the leaves and adding them to see if it will help :)

Herbal TTB – I think this would be excellent iced. Hot, i get the feeling that some of the flavors are hiding. Very pleasant. I could see buying this from time to time. Currently, I am collecting quite the amount of tea! I am close to hitting the $500 I thought I was going to spend on tea in a year, crazy how quick it adds up!

Herbal TTB – Having this one again tonight because it was nice and relaxing before bed. This one makes it to my wish list. <3 TTBs :)

Herbal TTB – This is different, and yummy! This is fruity in a delicate way. I had feared I over steeped this because I forgot to set a timer but with it being in a tea bag I ended up leaving it in the mug anyways.

Herbal TTB – This is better than I expected. I have been looking for a vanilla tea for a sort of night time dessert. I don’t know if I would buy this one myself but it’s worth finishing the cup. The vanilla is extremely faint to me but it

Herbal TTB – Sadly this one is not for me. I was looking forward to the vanilla as an evening treat. It didn’t seem to be there for me.

This with chocolate and a book makes for a good night.
