Mint Medley

It’s at work and it’s free, what more can I say?

This is a blend of spearmint and peppermint, I guess you would either like something like this or you don’t. It’s kinda hard to mess this up, I’d imagine. Might be better if it was organic. I still like the Mint Fields by Republic of Tea due to the lemon balm added.

There are some other nicknacks in here, but this more or less is straight up peppermint and spearmint. Personally, I’d rather just brew up some pure dried mint as a tea, but if you need the convenience of bags, this is as good a pick as any other bagged mint.

A review of Mint Medley (Herb Tea) by Bigelow

Date: 10/02/2012
Company: Bigelow
Tea Name: Mint Medley
Tea Type/Varietal:
Region: Herbal
Steeping Vessel/Amt. Leaf: cup / tea bag
Plucking Season:
Liquor Color: light brown
Leaf Characteristics:

1st Steeping:
Water temperature: 185 Fahrenheit
Time: 3 minutes
Note: I had this tea as my cup of medicinal mint to end the day. I Steeped for few minutes with very hot water. I find that this medley of peppermint leaves and spearmint leaves is mild enough to sooth and help one to relax after a long day. If there is not chamomile tea then there is this cup of mint tea to soothe into the nighttime.

So all the tannic made my stomach achey, so this is my solution.
But only after downing a 5hr energy.
Man do I love college.

This tea smooths out the stronger edginess of straight peppermint tea with the lighter coolness of spearmint. I like to steep this for longer than recommended because the aroma just gets better! A great everyday addition at the end of a good meal as mint is good for your stomach and digestion. Plus it fights the whole bad breath thing. Always a plus in my book!

I like Moroccan Mint Green from stash, but when the Dr. gives me the less caffeine speech I mix 2 of these with 3 Bigelow Decaf Green bags in my tea maker. I can drink that on ice all summer.

I feel meh about this tea. It’s easy to find when you’re traveling and didn’t bring your own tea stash, but it’s not really that great tasting. I guess I just like straight peppermint.

I don’t like you very much. You’re all weird and red and tart. That’s not what I was expecting at all :(

This is a very gentle mint tea – a nice combo of peppermint and spearmint. It’s my go-to when I have a tummy ache, and it’s nice in the evening when I want something with a fresh taste, but that isn’t too invigoratingly minty.

I didn’t notice that it had hibiscus until after I read the box recently – I don’t notice it much in the taste. I usually add a small amount of honey to it.

I am enjoying a cup of this before bed. I find myself with a headache and thought this tea with the nice mint flavor might help. This was the last sample bag in the cupboard. I will be making a shopping list of tea to purchase this weekend.
I am feeling relaxed and ready for dreamland. Good Night ….Sleep Well !
