Using up my one teabag of this tea that I was kindly given by Arby (who is a good friend of mine in person)! She scored me a multitude of single teabag Twinings tea from a hotel, so that was pretty awesome. It’s my first time trying this tea.

I really love mint teas, especially peppermint, so I was very happy to find that even though this is a peppermint and spearmint blend, the spearmint is more subtle than the peppermint and adds just a bit of sweetness, which is quite nice. It’s not a particularly special tea, but good if you like high menthol teas. I find it’s best when piping hot!

Flavors: Menthol, Peppermint, Spearmint, Sweet

Preparation
Boiling 5 min, 0 sec 1 tsp 16 OZ / 473 ML

I find I can barely taste the spearmint. If I didn’t now better, I would think this was plain peppermint. At least it is strong enough to take milk, brew iced, or brew hot. Really, though, most peppermint teas taste the same.

Matcha Manic O.o

The spearmint is really subtle but I can still taste it in there, since it’s got more of that sweet menthol taste than Peppermint does. Peppermint is really strong but not the same kind of sweet as spearmint. I can definitely tell the difference between this and my Murchie’s peppermint.

Bio

I’m currently a university student in English (where it’s apparently increasingly difficult to find a profession these days, but I will think about that as it becomes relevant), and aspiring novelist! I’ve been writing for about 6 years, in a variety of genres (fantasy, sci-fi, suspense, crime drama, and a variety of short-stories). My “baby” at the moment though is a high-fantasy tale, heavily inspired by Skyrim and Tolkien. I am also an artist and aspire to write a graphic novel one day; however, I seem far too unfocused and erratic to sit down long enough to do any of that. My preferred tea types are Oolong, matcha, black, white, mint herbals and sweet herbal tisanes/blends. I particularly like very floral and fresh tasting teas, but I’ll try anything at least once! I am interested in doing Tea Reviews, samples and exchanges! So message me! :)

FAVOURITE FLAVOURS: Mint, floral, anise, clove, spice, syrupy, desserty, smokey, anstringent, lavender, Rum/alcohol, cardamom, lychee, creamy, malt, hay, rice/grain, toasty, cocoa/chocolate, earthy

LEAST FAVOURITE FLAVOURS: Bitter, overly citrus (I don’t mind mild citrus taste), grapefruit, tangy, acidic.
