Ok, I’ll admit it, I bought this tea just because of the cow sprinkles and I don’t even like sprinkles in my tea. I thought this tea would make a good conversation piece, I mean it has COW SPRINKLES. Crazy.
I’m really glad Della Terra made a rooibos version of this since I don’t drink much black tea. I also think the rooibos goes a long way in hiding the taste of the chocolate flavoring they use since I don’t care for it.
The dry leaf of this tea smells like a peppermint patty, but it doesn’t quite taste like one (it would be really awesome if it did.) The rooibos doesn’t come through very much, I only taste it a little bit at the end of each sip. The mint is what comes through the most, but I only get a hint of chocolate and a bit of creaminess from the vanilla bits and I wish they had stood out a little more.
Personal Rant I do wish companies would be more descriptive in their ingredient lists when it comes to using mint. I could avoid teas that use spearmint a lot easier if they wouldn’t just use mint catchall phrase.

Oh oh oh! I just ordered my first dellaterra sampler pack, and this was one of the teas I chose (well, the black version, as I’m a fan of black tea). I’m still on the hunt for a vanilla-mint tea that I might like, so here’s to hoping!
I’m with you on the mint labeling thing – I also like peppermint but really can’t stand spearmint.
keychange, if you are interested in vanilla mint teas and haven’t tried Butiki’s Killer Vanilla yet, you might like it.
I love the name – but what are ‘cow sprinkles’?
I do agree about the mint labeling thing. Seldom do I think spearmint belongs in anything. Same with some other ingredients. List them! Every time I am surprised by nuts, I think of people with allergies to them.
