I’m on the second steeping, the first was 4 minutes and this one is 5.
I love that I’ve found a peppermint tea that has a black tea base instead of herbal. There was a piece of candy cane in my steeping about an inch long, which is why I opted for a second steeping.
The aroma is very strong. I have it sitting on the floor while I write on the couch and it’s still a delightfully strong smell. I can’t actually see the color since I’m using a dark mug (just trying to cover all the tasting basics;)).
While the second steeping is still quite minty, it’s not worth it except for that. Not much tea flavor leftover. It also appears to be a bit oily in my cup – is this the tea or something I’m doing wrong, you can see it on the side of the cup as I drink it down, too.
The tea is good though, regardless of the other stuff. I enjoy it and have given it as a gift, too. Regarding the note someone mentioned earlier (forgive me for not remembering) mine does not have a name attached to it but I do also have the peppermint candy blend which does have a name attached which I do not remember at the moment).

I hope you have a good book or music or something for those long waits.
People are in shock and don’t realize that gas trucks can’t traverse through impassable streets and the harbor until they are cleared of debris.
I’m glad you have power and I know you are doing your best as a nurse to help others. Bless you, and everyone working to restore food, water, shelter, transportation and hope.
Yep. The only reason that I am concerned over gas is because I work 30 minutes away. In that field I don’t like calling out because patient care definitely suffers when there is less staff. NJ and NY are strong states. I have no doubt that they are going to bounce back…just takes time. It’s never immediate. Thanks for the concern!
