I had some of this last night to help out a headache (not a migraine, thankfully). The brew is an extremely pale yellow. As to the taste – I know there’s no mint in this, but it totally tastes minty to me. That might be because I store it next to the Whisper of the Woods tea :-) Pine plus mint is actually a lovely and refreshing taste. The underlying tea is oh so slightly buttery and quite smooth. This blend becomes even more refreshing as it cools. Very reminiscent of walking through the woods in that seasonal sweet spot where summer has ended but fall hasn’t truly set in (so, pretty much right now).

Mmm pine and mint is one of my favorites! :) Have you tried our Cherokee Mint black tea? It’s our wonderful Ashes of Autumn lapsang souchong mixed with organic peppermint leaves. Its a delicious mix of smokey pine and peppermint :) So glad you like this one!
I shouldn’t drink black tea – it makes my stomach hurt :( And I’ve quite quickly learned that I do NOT like smokiness in my tea.
Now if there was a green tea version… or would that be the Whisper of the Woods?

Ahh, so sad :( Whisper of the Woods and Moroccan Mint are my two best two green+mint blends. I think the Sleeping Bear blend is a bit too light for peppermint, too. I do, however, think that my Wild Winter White Buds would be fantastic with mint, and it has notes of pine :)
