drank Peppermint Patty by Butiki Teas
36 tasting notes

Ok this one makes me sad. How can I not like it? I’m supposed to like it. I’m supposed to LOVE it, it came so highly recommended! Maybe I did something wrong? I didn’t get any chocolate taste, though there were plenty of chocolate chips. It didn’t seem like the boiling water melted them at all. Maybe I should’ve stirred it? In any case, all I got was a very… green? earthy?… something I didn’t like, with some cooling peppermint at the end of each sip. Definitely not a peppermint patty in my cup. I ended up pouring it out :(
I’ll definitely give it another shot though… it gets so many rave reviews I feel bad for not liking it! Will try stirring next time to see if that helps bring out the chocolate. I’m open to suggestions!

You need to overleaf this one; so 1.5 tsp per 8oz cup. Does that help at all?

Good to know, I’ll give it a try that way and report back!

I spend an obscene amount of time reading and researching topics I’m interested in, and I have a tendency to lurk much more than I comment, but I’m thrilled to be a part of the Steepster community! As for teas, I don’t handle caffeine well so it’s herbals/tisanes or decaf for me. Also, I can’t seem to develop an appreciation for black tea, green tea, chai, or spiced teas. And I can’t stand anything that tastes like licorice. (wow… picky much?!)
