I don’t even know where this tea came from. It is possible it was a gift, most likely from my mom from last Xmas. Or maybe I did buy it. Although, it is very unlikely I bought it as I am not a peppermint person, I would have most likely turned up my nose at the peppermint and moved on over to the spearmint (which usually sits right besides the peppermint – if there is any spearmint at all). I might have been looking at the spearmint and as I reached out, I grabbed the peppermint, while I was looking at the spearmint, so thinking I grabbed spearmint when I really didn’t. That sounds complicated but it actually happens quite often. Ha ha.

So anyway, a guest found this in my house and left it sitting on the counter. So I decided to try it. I might as well sip it down.

Even though I am not a peppermint lover, this tea is not too bad. I would say it is a generic mint tea. Not overly peppermint or strongly minty at all. It is kind of creamy. I think I can drink this. I will just have to close my eyes and think of spearmint as I sip.

I think that would make a great shirt print:

‘Close your eyes and think of spearmint’.

Ha ha. That shirt would suit me very well.

Bio

I am a lifetime tea lover.

I did foray into the world of coffee for a period of time, but I returned to my true love. I still, however, enjoy a good cup of java.

My all time favorite tea is Earl Grey, which I drink every morning, the stronger the bergamot the better. I definitely prefer natural oil of bergamot to artificial flavouring.

I mostly like black and dark oolong teas. My current favs are Fujian blacks, Keemun and Assams, and Wuyi oolongs. I gravitate towards anything with lychee in it. I also drink a lot of herbal blends but am wary of hibiscus. I do not favour mate, or pu’erh tea, although I have found a few blends that I like. (I so badly want to like straight pu’erh tea but it all tastes gross to me. I keep trying though). Rooibos, green and white teas fall somewhere in the middle. I find myself gravitating towards heavily roasted oolongs and teas from Paris/France based companies.

I love iced teas and cold brews.

My current tea goal is to make the perfect cup of chai from scratch – almost there…I think.

I am in love with the whole experience of tea.
