“The spearmint in this is quite good. You can taste the green tea when you brew it stronger. I enjoyed my coldbrewed. The spearmint provides enough sweetness that you don’t need any sugar.” Read full tasting note

So, I picked this up because I had a new gaiwan come in but in the process of washing it to clean from shipment I slipped with the lid and it shattered on the kitchen tile floor…
Deep breath. One bag of this left. Old highly rated review from years ago.
And we brew.
Would you believe me if I said this tea tastes of spearmint? Well, you’ll just have to take my word for it. It reminds me of a spearmint tea my mom used to make growing up. Pairs with a nice biscuit though I’m having Asian food so it’s not a perfect marriage of flavors.
After branching out with better teas, I’ve appended my previous rating to bring this in line. Still, you get what you bargain for with this blend. It’s far better than peppermint tea to my palette, and there’s actual tea flavor behind it too. It’s probably good iced.
This is the last bag in my stock, I will not be actively seeking it out but I’m also fine it if happens to end up in my possession again. I do feel better about my clumsiness, maybe the tea helped.
Flavors: Menthol, Spearmint
I hope you can get replacement lid!
Thanks Martin, I doubled down and purchased the same gaiwan and one of a different design which I had my mind on. We will see about a replacement lid, I may have to raid the local thrift shops for used wares!
When I broke my lid next day, I contacted the vendor and they gladly offered me a new lid without the charge. I just had to place another order there (with anything). Tangpin on Etsy, if you wonder.
Hmm, unfortunately for me this was through Amazon but I’ll still reach out to the seller since I have now purchased three of their gaiwans. Thank you for the insight!
The saga continues. The seller was very nice and offered to ship another lid to me at only the cost of shipping, but also mentioned that the cost is about half of a new Gaiwan and they didn’t feel that was a good value. Of course, we came to the conclusion that I can use the now lidless piece as a cup and saucer for company. I agree.
