I liked the sound of the blend for this tea and was drawn to it for that reason. I found the description to be quite tasty, a little excited about the prospect of a lemony-minty green tea blend.

The dry bag has a very spearminty scent, and it held a lot of good hope for me. The steeped scent is a bit subtle though it does retain those spearmint overtones. That’s about it though, didn’t notice too much of the other flavors, except maybe a little bit of green tea.

The taste is kind of subtle (as the scent) if not a bit bland. It’s definitely cool like its minty aspects, but that’s mostly what I’m tasting. I like the coolness of it, very refreshing, but I do believe it is a bit lacking overall. The aftertaste remains cool as well. One thing I noticed is that this tea can be slightly bitter at times, but I don’t think it’s bad enough to keep me away from drinking it again.

Overall, the flavor is a little bland, minty and earthy, with a refreshing cool feeling left to the mouth, but it does lack. The scent is not overpowering, and while it could be stronger, is nice. Could be improved, but definitely could be worse. Would recommend for someone who likes mint.

Bio

I’m a tiger with a love for tea, 18-years-old and a recent highschool graduate. I mostly enjoy black, white, herbal, and red teas. I have a strained relationship with green teas, but I am always on the search for the perfect maccha.

I’ve been drinking tea since I was very young, and hope to become familiar with different kinds. I am most interested in Chinese black teas and Japanese green teas, and would like to develop a particular familiarity with them.

Outside of tea, I enjoy writing and drawing. I love animals and reading about animals, and tigers are one I particularly identify with.
