From DAVIDsTEA

Mojito Magic

The deep green leaves of this fresh-tasting herb grow in pointy spearhead formations. Perhaps this is what makes spearmint such a tried-and-true weapon against adversaries like headaches, tension, nausea and stomachaches. It might also explain why it’s such a sharp base for tea mojitos. Just add a tablespoon of lime, a shot of rum and a little sugar or agave to your cup. Serve hot or chilled.

Ingredients: Organic spearmint leaves from Oregon and Washington State, USA.

my allergies are quite bad.. i live in a lovely apartment building and had wonderful neighbours for a year.. up until about two weeks ago when they moved out and we got some new neighbours who love smoking pot constantly.. my eyes are so watery and runny, and i have never been so congested in my life.. so it was wonderful when I saw this in a package in my mail today! (thanks courtney) .. I can’t remember if i’ve had this one before, but i like it alright its a little chemically tasting even though its not artificially flavoured.. but its clean.. its clean and crisp and burns up some of the congestion… not something i’d drink if i were feeling 100 percent probably, but good to cure what ails you!

Courtney

Yes I reserve this one for when I have an upset stomach, along with peppermint.

Aimee Popovacki

makes sense.. the taste isn’t something i can imagine people actually craving!

I’m not sure why I bought this but I am glad I did. I had never tasted straight mint tea but I thought it would be something great to have in my cupboard. Right now I am coming down with a cold and it really helps with my sore throat. I add honey to it and it becomes sweet and minty, yum! Way better than chamomile as a cold remedy in my opinion, but both are really good to keep on hand at all times! This morning I am still sick and in the mood for something stronger, so I mixed a tiny bit of this with my nepal black and some honey and it was sooo good! When I am out of this I really want to try the peppermint tea, they didn’t have it in stock the last time I went to the store. I feel like I am going to like it even better than spearmint.

I so agree, love spearmint and this one is so fresh, could be used as a mouthwash!

This is a perfect after lunch tea.
Super refreshing, I LOVE spearmint! Especially compared to other mints. The natural sweetness just makes my tastebuds sing.

Just the thing I needed at work after my sick day yesterday.

It was last May at West Edmonton Mall when I first tried this tea. I had eaten something rather spicy at one of the restaurants on Bourbon Street. My stomach wasn’t exactly happy to say the least after that but after arriving to David’s I ordered one cup of this Spearmint tea it more than helped. The cooling effects of the mint as well as the medicinal notes settled the aches and I was able to go on with the rest of the day. Refreshed and re-energized.

Day 65 of my 101 days of DAVIDsTEA challenge. More backlog catchup!!

I found that this had a… rounder, sweeter flavour than the mint did. In something like chewing gum, I might prefer it. However, in tea, I much prefer the straightforwardness of the regular mint.

I oversteeped it the first time, which brought this out more. However, I still got it a second time around (new leaves) with a much shorter steep, though to a lesser extent. Short steeps help, but I still prefer the peppermint amour.

My mom loves mojito and mint teas, and she likes both of these as well. I’m slowly beginning to understand her tea preferences, even if my own seem much broader! (My tea selection has long-surpassed hers to the point that I’m storing most of it in my room to not clog the kitchen. …eep?)

First time trying this recently – since it’s retiring for some reason unknown to me. Lately mint has been growing on me, and this tea is actually pretty good and soothing. I can taste the difference between spearmint, and peppermint now. This is a sweeter mint, like gum… I really enjoy this, and I don’t understand why they would retire it. I haven’t seen any other spearmint teas around… Just peppermint. So I guess I’ll have to stock up on this now.
I wonder how much will fill a tinzilla. Not much I’m guessing :P

100g tin fits anywhere between 30-50g depending on how tightly you pack it, so tinzilla would be in the 75g-150g ballpark, I think? If I’m mathing correctly, anyway.

DT sends this one to to us in 250g bags though, which is normally what we sell in the tinzillas so in theory and if you were so inclined you could just buy one of the bags DT sends it to us in. You should still get your free tinzilla w. the 250g purchase, and then you could top up the tin from the giant silver bag as needed?

That sounds like a good idea!

Kinda weak, but basically, yep it’s a spearmint tea.

A bit less zippy than a peppermint tea, more naturally sweet and less likely to mentholate your nose and throat. That might be good for some people, but I’ve found out that I do prefer peppermint. If I overbrew this one it turns my stomach a bit, so I do no more than 3 minutes at a near-boiling temperature.

A very good spearmint. Mine tastes fresh and was extremely cheap because the leaves are so light (an entire bag full was $3.10.) It re-steeps well. I enjoy this tisane with a splash of milk or a hint of honey.

Ok – last ear infection update! (Not a super tea focused tasting note, tbh)

I ended up going to a walk in clinic on Saturday because of the pain/discomfort I was in and I got some antibiotic ear drops prescribed to me. However, I had a very bad reaction to them and the swelling in my ear got even worse – far worse. The best I can describe it is to imagine you’re flying in a plane, and you have the pressure build up in your ear that most people do things like chew gum to try to “pop”. However, in this case that pressure just kept building up and up and up, and I couldn’t “pop” it. It was very, very painful so finally at about 2AM on Sunday morning I went to the ER, and while waiting to be seen my eardrum ruptured…

I basically ended up losing my work week while I recovered at home, and I didn’t really do much of anything during my recovery days. I spent most of that time just lying in bed trying to stay as still as humanly possible, as any kind of movement on that side of my head caused me immense pain. I drank very, very little tea – getting up was too painful and too much effort, and to be fair I largely just wasn’t in the mood anyway.

There will be some long term recovery – my hearing in my right ear is off, worse than before. I’ve been assured that it will return to normal over time, as the eardrum heals. That’s the scariest part for me; having no control over that and needing to just have faith in waiting. I’ve never been good with faith…

This was one of very few teas I drank during the “peak” of my recovery period – I seemed to have leaned really heavily towards mint teas, probably because they’re often so soothing. I don’t remember anything about the taste of this tea, but I do recall the steam from the steeped cup of tea feeling really good on my face.

Friendly reminder that I do not numerically rate DAVIDsTEA blends as I’m currently employed there and it would be an obvious conflict of interest. Any blends you see with numerical ratings were rated prior to my employment there. These reviews are a reflection of my personal thoughts and feelings regarding the teas, and not the company’s.

Dustin

That is awful! I have had an ear infection go ruptured eardrum and it was miserable. Felt like I was walking around underwater with a diving bell on my head. I hope your recovery is speedy!

Leafhopper

Ugh! Sounds like a miserable experience, especially in this heat. I hope you feel better soon.

ashmanra

Hope you are on the mend and this NEVER happens to you again!

tea-sipper

Oh my gosh! I’m so sorry about your ear. I hope you feel better quickly.

LuckyMe

Man that sounds painful. Wishing you a speedy recovery

Kawaii433

:( That does sound sooo painful. Get better soon!

Kittenna

That’s rough. I hope your recovery is continuing to go well!
