laurenpressley drank Peppermint Rooibos by Adagio Teas

I’ve been reading good things about the Rishi Peppermint/Rooibos blend, and wanted to try it. However, I have so much tea sitting around that I couldn’t justify the purchase. Lucky me, though, had Adagio peppermint and a rooibos sample in my office, so I blended myself.

I looked through the Custom Blends section of the Adagio site and didn’t find this one listed. It’s very good, though, and I can totally see the appeal!

Thanks! Your tasting note was one of the good things I had read about it. :)

Bio

a tea drinking geek librarian

I’ve been into tea, at some level, since college with a first tin of loose tea brought back by my parents from Oxford. My love of tea increased with a visit to Boston and a chance cup at Tealuxe. Since then I’ve only gotten more interested in tea and have developed more of an appreciation for it.

I went on a (near) tea fast in 2009 when I was pregnant, and am only now really reintroducing tea at the levels I was drinking it before. I’ve lost some of my tasting edge, but that just gives me an excuse to drink even more. :)

100: a perfect cuppa. these are the teas I’ll keep in my cupboard and tend to be one per type of tea.

90-99: will definitely get more of this tea

80-89: likely to get more and perhaps it will become a favorite with time

70-79: very good, depending on my mood or the season

60-69: wouldn’t actively try to get this tea, but also wouldn’t avoid it in a tea shop or restaurant

50-59: run-of-the-mill tea for me

40-49: decent, would hit the spot in some moods, but probably wouldn’t purchase it for my cupboard

30-39: okay, will try again, maybe

20-29: meh. I’d try this tea again if no other were available

10-19: drinkable, but a forced cup

0-9: didn’t even finish the cup
