Intensely Buttermint

What an odd flavour combination. It really works though. Thank you for the sample, VariaTEA!

1 teabag, 650 mL very hot water (just under boiling)r, 6 minutes or so.

I am really digging the peppermint + buttery creaminess. I like that the caramel is highlighted with vanilla and is very smooth. It is unique, but I love it. If I ever see a box in the store, it shall come home with me.

This really does taste like a buttermint. I drank it straight today which is the way I like it best. The smooth vanilla flavor disappears with the addition of milk and sugar.

Today I had a cheat day on my diet and went out with friends to one of the restaurants (Bent) hosting Summerlicious, an event that has many Toronto restaurants serving 3-course prix fixe menus at reduced costs (similar to a DineLA or a DineNY). It was definitely an awesome way to go off the diet because it meant I got to have a little bit of everything (my 2 friends and I ended up ordering one of each option and just sharing them all). And to top it all off, we went for ice cream in Kensington market afterwards because why not :P. Anyways, by the time I came home, I felt like I could roll into my house but I wanted tea so I decided to make the easiest one I could think of – this since it is premeasured in its bag and I can steep forever and it would still be good. Plus, its mint and you get mints at the end of big meals so it just seemed like the right pick.

Anyways, I was about to get ready to settle in for the night and drink my tea but then my brother told me we had to go to the park to fight at a Pokemon gym so off we went, leaving my hot tea sitting on my night stand. Well, we did manage to take over the park and then went in search of a supposedly nearby Haunter. Unfortunately, he ended up being on the other side of a row of houses and when we looped around (as opposed to cutting through people’s backyards at 11:30 at night) we lost him. So, I returned home, showered, and am now finally getting to drink my cold tea. Tbh, its still just as good. Honestly, it is creamy and buttery and has just the right amount of mint to keep things fresh and clean. Though the hot cup would have been preferable, this is still a nice way to end off the day.

mmmmm this is good. so good. creamy buttery goodness with a chaser of mint. yep. I am a fan!

Final count: 142

One teabag used

Brewing tea has a minty and creamy candy aroma.

Minty with a background hint of creaminess and pudding-like sweetness.

Thanks to MissB for sharing with me

I don’t know how to tell you guys this, so I’ll just say it: this is one of the best teas on the planet. It tastes EXACTLY like a buttermint, like you’d expect one to taste. Creamy, dreamy vanilla and a hint of refreshing mint at the end. Like, well, a buttermint. Like a hard candy, but in liquid form… I’ve already had six cups today. It’s that good.
