From SkySamurai a while ago! Thanks so much! The perfect time for a note of this one. It seems to be a gunpowder green with a ton of peppermint infused into it with unique and pretty white and red flower petals to make it it reminiscent of a candy cane. Note: my tea seems entirely different from their photo and description: this is not sencha or safflowers. I bet my blend is better. This would be the perfect tea to plop half a candy cane in for sweetening, but I didn’t this time. There is PLENTY of peppermint here regardless! Somehow it really works with this green. Fresh and herbalish. The peppermint really takes over but this would be a great one for my headache days. Not too many headaches lately! The second steep is just as nice. Neither cup was bitey from green tea. It’s great! The green is a great base for this STRONG peppermint. I will definitely try it again with half a peppermint stick…
Steep #1 // 1 1/3 teaspoons for a full mug // 32 minutes after boiling // 2 1/2 minute steep
