Black Mint Fusion from Latitude 23.5 Coffee & Tea

Jeez, well this company just made me feel like I’m not ever gonna bother with them again even though this stuff is pretty good. I bought it in bulk at Whole Foods and didn’t remember the full name. So I emailed them to ask. This is the entire email I got back.

“I believe the tea you purchased is called Black Mint Fusion.”

Real professional.

Needless to say it ended up in my spam folder because also she made sure to include the forwarded message from someone else which said to email me to tell me that. Because apparently just telling me it directly was too difficult.

So we’ll all just assume this is Black Mint Fusion. At least I know the ingredients, since I guess they might not even know.

This was probably the favorite tea of CupofTree and my tea tasting last week. This is really good. I like when both peppermint and spearmint are mixed together. And the lemongrass adds just a little bit of a different twist to it.

Bleh…I once emailed a company asking for the origin of one of their teas for curiosity. Wrote a nice long email explaining why I was curious (because I had a tea from a certain place that sounded exactly the same and I LOVED it)…even gave them a few options of places it could be from. A week and a half later I got a response.

“Hey,
No.”

Well then…I didnt want it anyway! Haha :P

Wow. I don’t think they even tried at all!

Gosh that was rude! If they didn’t want to say where it was from, couldn’t they just have said so? O.o

Haha, yeah. I guess “Hey, No.” was enough for them? Yeah, sometimes I think companies think that they are more important than the customer…which is horrible. A tea company can not exist without the tea customer. Anyway, no customer for them here! Oh and if you want a dark blend with mint in it and don’t want to bother with this company again, you might be interested in this one ;)
