I was out this morning, at Cucina and Co., a place where there’s lots of gourmet food, but it’s usually high-priced. I really wanted tea to go along with my breakfast, and the options were very, very slim. There was only Bigelow-everything, Twinings English Breakfast, and this. Since the tea was going to cost me $1.67, I figured that I’d pick out something that I hadn’t tried yet. And since I’ve heard great things about Harney & Sons (and have really enjoyed their Decaf Ceylon when I had the chance), I gave this one a shot.
I wasn’t disappointed. This one was the best peppermint I’ve ever had in a bag. It comes fairly close to loose leaf, I’d even say. The taste was incredibly fresh and light, with a great, great minty kick. That menthol feeling coating your mouth was sublime. It didn’t have any of the bitterness that I sometimes taste in peppermint. I really enjoyed the entirety of my cup. Was it what I planned on drinking originally this morning? Nope. But for on-the-go, it definitely worked in my favor.

I don’t usually like mint in my food or drink…it reminds me too much of mouthwash or toothpaste. When I was down in DC in October, though, we went to this fantastic Morroccan restaurant, and they served (of course) Morroccan mint tea at the end of it…with the pouring-from-on-high tradition and everything (there were bellydancers and giant pots of food you eat with your hands in a circle, that’s the kind of place I’m talking about). I could probably drink VATS of the stuff prepared the way they had, and I’ve been kind of wanting a mint tea since then…maybe I’ll give this one a go!
