Sampler Sipdown September! Yes, plain mint tea, the most boring choice for a breakfast tea ever. That said, right now I’m kind of glad I got this as a free sampler from a long ago Teapigs order, because I’m on day two of my migraine attack so I’m still still sticking mostly to soothing mint or ginger teas which settle the accompanying nausea. The stomach is actually feeling a bit calmer at the moment (though the headpain is much worse), but who knows, my stomach may be doing so well from finishing off my water bottle of Moroccan Mint tea overnight. I might try other teas later in the day if the stomach-beast at least continues to play nice.
This is at least a very nice mint tea; I remember revisting bagged Bigelow Mint Medley not long ago and was aghast at its red color from the amount of hibiscus added to what is advertised as a plain mint tea… and I’m one of those people that actually likes hibiscus! Just… not in my plain mint tea. That was such a turn off! I don’t mind a little citrus herb added to my mint tea, but otherwise… just no. And this is just plain ol’ peppermint leaf, straight up. Nothing exciting tastewise, but it certainly gets the job done when a strong dose of menthol is needed for the throat or stomach or for whatever else ails you. Mint is versatile that way. Since plain mint tea isn’t the most exciting thing to drink, I add a small dollap of lemon-infused honey, and that is actually quite nice.
These sachets come with nice leafy mint rather than mint that has been pulverized to a pulp, and were surprisingly full, too. Very flavorful. Sometimes you just need mint without the frills.
