oh wow that colour is slightly offputting. I appreciate it’s meant to be a deep blue (like the red-white-blue of Brighton rock) and I can kind of see that when looking at the spoon, but looking into my ceramic mug it straight up looks black. We’ve all had black tea before, but that’s more dark brown, and deep black is a weird colour for a drink! I’m tempted to add milk just to see what the colour will do… but I won’t (for now).
Most of the smell and flavour is mint. It’s quite nice like that, with the herbal mint upfront and then a kick of the fresh candy-like mint at the end of the sip. I feel this tea was quite sweet on it’s own, so my usual amount of sugar has oversweetened it… I like this, not the oversweetening but the mint. I don’t pick up on the pepper or any other ingredient, but it’s a solid minty mint-tea.
