drank Peppermint Orange by Tea of Life
2901 tasting notes

I’ve been looking for a decent linkable picture to add to this tea description, and after clicking myself down the rabbit hole, it appears that this is produced by the same folks in Sri Lanka that purvey the English Tea Shop brand (also in the Christmas-giftable-for-non-teaists category).

All the same, I like this immensely for its lightness in flavor. Evidently I can’t taste white tea unless there is something else in it. In this case, the something else leads with orange, peppermint following, with those very mild chai spices to warm it up. Not fancy, but then again, neither am I.

I recall that package available here as well, I think I have bags from it in my collection; but I think I haven’t got the tea.

They have several boxed bundles like the one in the picture; I think there’s a “Holly Collection” and a “Santa-Something Collection” as well. I thought this one had more flavors that were out of the ordinary.

I pretty much agree with that “Christmas-giftable-for-non-teaists category” :) I liked it as the packaging, but never dared to buy it for drinking.
