I got this tea yesterday from the coffee stand in the building next to where I work. Normally, that coffee place is pretty good and I like the way they make vanilla bean tea lattes mmmm…. But as it’s summer and my stomach was not in top form, I decided to go with this mint tea and ask for it iced. The barista informed me that I could not have it iced because it was a hot tea. I informed her that if she brewed it hot with less water than usual and then poured it over ice, it would become an iced tea. She told me I would have to wait for it to brew. I was unsurprised by this news and assured her I was fine with that. She very doubtfully followed my instructions, but did not brew it nearly long enough, I think. All I got from this tea was spearmint. I really couldn’t detect the green base at all, which is a shame because this is my favorite way to have green tea. So, I won’t rate this because of the dubious preparation.

I get around this by asking for the hot tea and a cup of ice on the side. That way I can ice it when I think it’s ready. I do this with coffee too, especially as I like iced coffee without additives.
I will do that next time. Thanks for the tip :-)
I used to drink it when I didn’t know any better. The thing is base is practically non-existing , it’s 98% of mint.
Well, maybe it’s not that particular barista’s fault. But she makes the most abysmal foam so I was predisposed to blame it on her
