mint julep ∙ subtle citrus ∙ refreshing
This blend was inspired by southern sweet tea with lemon and refreshing spearmint! It is energizing, a wellness booster, and is rich in antioxidants.
Ingredients: black tea, spearmint, oolong tea, lemon peel, natural flavor, calendula
Got my summer subscription box from Old Barrel today, huzzah! Honestly, this is my third box, and I’m pretty impressed with their selections so far. They don’t lean too far into the seasonal angle, like it would have been easy to make this box all iced teas or all light and fruity teas, but they didn’t. And I appreciate that, since otherwise I don’t think a spring or summer box would be my jam.
Anyway! First one out of the bunch. This is a blend of black tea and oolong with spearmint and lemon. I don’t actually like iced tea with lemon, but this is really nice. Very well-balanced, with a smooth yet flavorful base, sweet and fresh mint, and a soft candy lemon note.
I’m sure it would be lovely iced, but I’m enjoying it warm. Maybe I’ll try icing it with some honey next time…

I thought this was mostly spearmint, but well balanced,
For sure, the spearmint is definitely the dominant note.
