Fortnum & Mason Advent Day 14 (sachets)

The description says English mint, the ingredient list simply says “peppermint”, and the flavor says “spearmint”!

This tasted so much like spearmint instead of peppermint that I googled the plant. Every listing from plant nurseries to recipe sites said that English mint tastes like spearmint and I agree. Two steeps, both great. Very sweet and refreshing, reminiscent of my homemade butter mints (which are made with peppermint oil so go figure) or spearmint gum.

Nice!

Bio

I am a music teacher, tutor, and former homeschool mom (25 years!) who started drinking loose leaf tea about fifteen years ago! My daughters and I have tea every day, and we are frequently joined by my students or friends for “tea time.” Now my hubby joins us, too. His tastes have evolved from Tetley with milk and sugar to mostly unadorned greens and oolongs.

We have learned so much history, geography, and culture in this journey.
