Thank you Cameron B., for sending some of this my way!
I’m usually a fan of Moroccan mint teas so I figured I’d enjoy this. Oh my gosh, is it MINTY! I smelled the mint in the mailbox before I even opened up the package… he he
I steeped up a pot of it this morning in my little red Stump teapot. It definitely looks like a pellet-shaped gunpowder green tea and is a dark yellow in color. I am finding the spearmint in this blend to be a bit overwhelming to say the least. I like Moroccan mint teas where you can taste a bit of the smoky green underneath it and I’m not getting that here. I wonder how this is flavored and could you please tone it down, Kusmi? hee hee.
This seems to be a common theme between Kusmi and I — their flavored teas just seem a bit too flavored for me.
Anyway I tried this plain and then added a bit of sugar, it is good both ways but I do sort of feel like I’m drinking toothpaste. I put the rest in my Lupicia cooler to cold brew, as I’m thinking this would be really nice with tomorrow’s lunch and a few ice cubes might tone it down a bit as well.
Thanks again Cameron, it was fun to swap with you!
Flavors: Spearmint
I definitely preferred it cold brewed. :D Good luck!
I mix it with plain gunpowder and sometimes add some peppermint as well. Anyway its good iced.
