From the Green tea/Matcha TTB
From the style of packaging, this is from when 52teas was under old management (Frank). I think the changed happened a year ago now, but the flavoring in this tea has held up well.
I was afraid it would be too strongly minty, because it’s too cold for that! But the mint was a nice mellow spearmint, and the marshmallow root lends a touch of sweetness and creaminess to round it out. The base green tea is unfortunately, unremarkable.
It was a nice cup, like a creamier version of a mellowed out Moroccan mint tea. I would order this in my next order at 52teas if I remember.

The official take over happened June 1st of this year. :)
Ohh! Happy 6 months then!
I feel like the transition to the smaller taster size packets happened fairly recently, but I don’t know if that was under Frank or not. This was in the old 2oz packaging with the clear front.
Thanks! Yes, Frank started the smaller 1/2 ounce size and I started calling them tasters because that’s always what I’ve felt I was when it comes to teas – sure I have my favorites but I am very much a taster, wanting just a little bit of this and a little bit of that for the most part – enough to taste it and enjoy it but not really enough to stock it. When I took over, I kept the taster size and I also brought back a larger size which is usually 2 ounces – because there are people who feel like to purchase just 1/2 ounce of any tea is kind of a waste so I have two sizes now. :)
I should say … Frank started the smaller 1/2 ounce size about a year and a half ago.
