Backlog:
The dry leaf smells strongly of mint. This tea is my first notable experience with Meadowsweet. Err, that is to say it’s my first time that I remember trying Meadowsweet. So, I really didn’t know what Meadowsweet tasted like. So, I googled it and learned that it has a somewhat wintergreen, minty scent to it. I couldn’t really nail down what it was supposed to taste like though. I read that it has a sharp taste to it, then I read that it has a minty taste to it, and then I read that it has a sweet, marshmallow-y sort of flavor to it. So, I said, “forget google, the tea is getting cold,” and i just took a sip.
The tea has a much softer flavor than expected given the strong minty aroma. I taste sweet, buttery green tea notes, an herbaceous sort of flavor, and mint. It’s a pleasant cuppa.
