I used 1.25 David’s Tea Scoop in my Aqua-Ovo tea tumbler.
The scent of the brewed leaf is a nice mix of primarily peppermint and a coconut with a creaminess to it. I find peppermint to be a rather strong flavour/scent and seems to take over many others. The flavour is quite similar to the scent; primarily peppermint with a creamy coconut. There is a definite sweetness throughout and a pleasant sweet trail on the end of the sip. I am able to detect a hint of apple near the end of the sip following the sweet trail near the end. I am not partial to the combination of apple and mint flavours; it reminds me too much of when I take a bite of fruit too soon after brushing my teeth. As this tisane cools, I am really getting a strong hit of sweetness; not too sugary thought- it is quite nice!
Overall, a unique mint blend.
Second infusion for 5 minutes and 30 seconds. The sweetness is still very present while the mint and coconut flavours are subdued. There isn’t much in the way of creaminess for this infusion. Apple flavour isn’t present in this.
