Marika brought in this stick pack of instant tea for me to try, and honestly it was surprisingly pretty solid. Dissolved quite easily, and was very flavourful on top of having clear body and tannin from the black tea. The mint was very spearmint, and I liked it a lot at first. However, as this cooled it got kind of herbaceous in a weird way? Marika said it reminded her of sage, but for me it was very dill in the finish which was. strange. Not bad, exactly, but just not a flavour I really would ever seek out in a tea I don’t think.
Also, I don’t know if this is a coincidence or not but after I finished this cup I ended up getting some pretty gnarly heartburn.
