A tea bag from Madeline. We agreed on swap on 11th September, send each other envelopes, but mine arrived just today! Thank you Madeline — here is her profile https://steepster.com/mallen657 as I have invited her here and she “loves this place”. She contacted me through Postcrossing.

I have quite terrible headache today and I wanted to try something, more-less new. I never had green tea with mint from Bigelow before. I know and assume somehow standard quality of tea and mint. But it’s new tea bag for my collection for sure, and that was actaully major reason why I have agreed on the swap.

It is as expected; quite mild but tasty base. And then lots of speamint. It is very refreshing. Easydrinking tea, the green base is indeed basic and somehow common hay-like, not really much of fresh green tea. The spearmint is rather like chewing gum. Maybe too strong for me as it almost “kills” the base.

Flavors: Spearmint

Preparation
180 °F / 82 °C 3 min, 0 sec 10 OZ / 300 ML

I won’t say I’ve never had a Bigelow tea I didn’t like, but in general, it’s a solid, reliable, inexpensive grocery store brand.

Glad it’s a new one for you! I actually haven’t tried it yet, but my girlfriend’s a big mint fan so she added that one.

Welcome to Madeline! And I hope you’re feeling better, Martin. Headaches can be so exhausting.

I think it was some one-day sickness as I feel completely different today (I prescribed paracetamol to myself though for few days)

I am drinking almost everything. Tea bag collector who moved to wonderful world of loose leaf.

Trying to rate differently tea bags and loose leaf as tea bags have usually worse quality.

Photographer now and then. Postcrossing and geocaching member. Very curious person. Logistics student (should finish in June 2021).

Buried in tea right now. Is in my cupboard (trying to be updated) which sparkled your interest? Write me, I would gladly share with you. But I don’t want anything in return now :)
