Woo! My tea from Herbal Infusions came in today, and I also got my huge mystery stash package from Janelle. It had a lot of teas from DAVIDs in it that I’d never tried, so I’m pretty excited to run through them all.
My cupboard is up at 119 now though. :O
This tea smells really amazing. I hope it tastes as good.
Ok, this is interesting. I mean it’s a puerh blend, and I didn’t think puerh would work with mint, but this sorta does? It adds a bit of weight to the creamy mint. I like this. It’s very relaxing and smooth – not what I expect with all that earthy puerhness… I guess the vanilla and licorice help to tone that down by adding a bit of sweetness. It’s a good thing I like licorice!
And the licorice in this is much nicer than it is in the chocomint oolong that came out this year.
ETA when this cools, the licorice really starts to dominate it the blend, so it’s best enjoyed warmer IMO.

Yay for tea packages!! My friends all laugh at me but I have surprised a few of them with tea packages and I think they get it :)
Are you trying to convert them to loose-leaf? :) I made my sister a huge surprise package full of tons of tea – may 40 samples? And I sent her a Perfect Mug, and a 4 page instruction book full of tips on how to steep tea, store it, as well as a summary of each sample and why I chose it. It took her until the second page before she realized that I typed up the document – she thought it was from DAVIDs. (Which just made me feel uber-professional and awesome).
So yeah, tea packages rock!
