Mint Marigold Spice

Cold Brew Sipdown (138)!

Thank you Liquid Proust for the sample! I don’t know if I’ve had any teas from this company before, but they sound incredibly familiar.

The cold brew was really good; ever since Saturday when we went out and celebrated my birthday I’ve had the nastiest bruises, a sore back and a constant headache and the cool, refreshing mintyness of this tea was a real relief. It just made me feel at ease, and my head feel a lot more clear. Honestly, most of the flavour was strong, sweet spearmint. I know there’s supposed to be other flavours in this blend but I didn’t taste them as much. I’m 90% sure the anise just blended in with the spearmint’s sweetness or perhaps enhanced it. But ginger? Nope, didn’t taste that.

It was good, though! I’d drink it again, though probably not stock it.

Backlog:

I’m not always a big fan of rooibos blends but this one is a winner for me. It has a lovely contrast between cool, crisp mint and warm spice.

Zesty cinnamon, refreshing mint notes from peppermint and spearmint, licorice notes from the anise, and a warm, peppery flavor from the ginger. The rooibos isn’t a strong, obvious flavor and I like that.
