drank Peppermint Herbal Tea (Caffeine Free) by Stash Tea
2172 tasting notes

Recovering (hopefully) from a stomach bug or some kind of food poisoning, so I thought a nice peppermint tea would be my best option today. The crackers and rice diet is not fun, and even the rice made me sick. So here’s hoping the peppermint tea helps (or at the very least, doesn’t make it worse).

I like Stash’s peppermint tea, but it’s not as reliable as I had hoped. I made this cup the same way I did last time and this time it’s slightly bitter. I could try again and decrease the temperature, but since this is my last bag I think I’ll skip another purchase and look for something else. In fact, I just remembered I already have a solid mint tea that I love – https://steepster.com/teas/qntm-leaf-tea/92845-mindful-mint. No need to find another.

Flavors: Bitter, Peppermint

Preparation
Boiling 5 min, 0 sec 8 OZ / 236 ML

Mint tea is one of my go-tos when my stomach is being shitty, too. (The other is ginger tea, and I often add a little powdered ginger to rice water at those times, too).

Mindful mint is quite good, I did enjoy the sample you sent me. Add a teaspoon of any shou puerh to aid in stomach calming!

Mastress Alita – I’m having some ginger tea now because of your recommendation – thank you!
gmathis – Thank you -I sure do hope it’s soon!
Michelle – Oh yes, I love it. I will try the shou puerh tip, thank you! I completely forgot about your Tummy Tamer blend too. That’ll be my next cup, I think. I can drink it as part of Mastress Alita’s November sipdown challenge. :D

I love flavored black teas most of all, always with cream and honey. I enjoy floral and fruity teas, as well as flavored or scented ones. I’m not overly fond of green or white teas, but I’ve found a few that I enjoy.

I’m open to tea swaps and/or just sharing what’s in my tea cabinet! Please reach out if you see something I have that you’d like to try. I do my best to update my cupboard regularly.

Rating Scale

1-20: By far, one of the worst teas I’ve tasted. I most certainly will not finish my cup and will likely “gift” the rest to my sweet husband, James, who almost always enjoys the teas I dislike (and vice versa).

21-49: This tea is not good, but if I mix it with another tea or find another steeping method I might be able to finish it.

50-69: This one is just okay. I might drink it again if someone were to give it to me, but I probably won’t be buying more for myself.

70-79: This is a consistently good tea. It’s reliable but not necessarily special.

80-90: This one is a notch above the rest and I would gladly enjoy a cup of it any day of the week. I’ll likely be keeping this in my cupboard, but it isn’t one of my all-time favorites.

91-95: One small change and this tea would be perfect. I’ll definitely have a stash of this in my kitchen if you come over for tea.

96-100: No words can describe this tea. It’s an experience, an aha moment. Closed eyes, wide smile, encompassing warmth. Absolutely incredible. Perfect.
