drank Minted Monkey by Tippy's Tea
767 tasting notes

I received my package from Tippy’s Tea today. I also received packages from David’s Tea and Tea Source today. I had a cup of Cold 911 because I have a nasty sinus infection, but after that I looked through the teas I ordered and decided to try this one next. Boy, am I glad I did! This is smooth, very smooth, and sweet on its own, no sweetener needed. I don’t have a sense of smell, so I couldn’t smell any chocolate or mint, but I swear, I could feel chocolate and mint. If I close my eyes I get the same sort of feeling I get from eating Junior Mints. Sweet, minty tang of candy, not the harsh tang of toothpaste. It’s hard to explain to a smelling person, but a lot of teas are interchangeable for me. I honestly can’t taste the difference. With this tea, I KNOW I’m drinking Minted Monkey. That’s the best thing in the world for an anosmic like me. I have a lot of tea to drink down, but as soon as I get my stash under control, I’m ordering more of this!

I like Junior Mints too. They’re my favorite treat at the movie theater, and are especially good when chilled. Hope you feel better soon!!

I love cats. I love alone time. I love sitting indoors on a cold winter night with a book or my knitting while drinking tea. I don’t have a sense of smell, so many of the more subtle flavors of tea escape me. Two of the things I CAN taste are bitter and sour, so any tea that has even a slightly bitter taste is nasty for me. And what others might perceive as pleasant tartness may be horribly sour for me.

I’m also a writer. I love writing, and a mug of hot tea helps me get through the hours sitting in front of the computer. Although I’m a comparatively new tea drinker, I’m jumping in feet first. Feel free to recommend any teas you think I might enjoy.

100-91 – Wowza! I want to keep this tea in the cupboard all the time.
75-90 – Very nice. It would be good to have this tea on hand from time to time.
60-74 – OK. Wouldn’t keep it in the cupboard, but I would drink it again.
45-59 – If a friend served this I would drink it to be polite, but it’s not really my cuppa.
Lower than 45 – Blech. It was too sour or bitter for my taste. Would not drink it again.
