July Sipdown Challenge – a tea you can’t repurchase
I am pretty sure this is my last Theodor tea. I have a lot of it left because I generally only drink tilluel medicinally, and mint isn’t my most favorite thing except when making a tea syrup for tea pop, and then I usually add some homemade vanilla extract to it. I am not using this for my mint prompt. That will be a separate one tomorrow.
I have had very little sleep – only about four hours when you throw in my quick nap from earlier today, so hopefully this caffeine free tisane will lull me to sleep and will help with stress. The dominant flavor is mint, which is what I always find with teas that include mint. It just takes over. Cold tingle on my tongue. Honestly, I barely taste the tilluel or linden in this, but I think it may be softening the harsh edges of the peppermint.
As a medicinal tea, it is quite palatable. As a mint tea, it is smooth and agreeable. It is getting on a bit in age but still flavorful even though the package wasn’t closed well when I fetched it out tonight.
Because this company has closed, I can not repurchase it, but I know Harney and Sons sells a Tilluel Mint that tastes very similar.
Going to bed now and hope to conk out until morning.
