One-sachet sipdown, I suppose. I don’t know, there’s something unsatisfying about calling it a sipdown when I only had one cup’s worth to begin with. I remain undecided on the question.
Pretty sure this came my way courtesy of the same friend who sent me the DF jasmine. Weirdly, I thought the dry leaf smelled a bit sweet and spearmint-y. It’s a very clear peppermint once steeped up though. Very cooling, with a hint of sweetness but not spearmint-y. One of the better peppermints I’ve had.
