Someone inquired about these savory teas for a swap and I remembered that I have yet to try some of them! How lazy of me! :P This one sounded like the one I would like the least, so I figured I’d get it out of the way first. I do like tomatoes, but tomato tea sounds weird, especially combined with mint. I would think tomato and basil would be a more classic combination? The dry bag smells quite minty with savory tomato and spice undertones. I let mine steep for 10 minutes in boiling water per package instructions.
I think my bag must have had a hole in it that I didn’t notice, because there is quite a bit of debris at the bottom of my cup, as well as a few mint leaf fragments floating on the surface. Mannnn… :( It smells tomato-y with savory spices, but overall it’s oddly sweet-smelling from the mint. The tomato flavor here is actually very good, it’s quite true-to-life and reminds me of a fresh tomatoes with salt over the top. However, this blend is very spicy and that combined with the mint is making my tongue feel unpleasant… :(
Flavors: Black Pepper, Lemon, Mint, Salt, Spices, Vegetables
….ew….
LOL. Yeah pretty much…
Oh yock! You’re brave!!
Ost, the other savory teas I’ve tried have been pretty good. This one was just sensory overload with the pepper and the mint combined.
