tattooed_tea drank Cucumber Mint by Tea Forte

I plucked this from the traveling tea box. Originally i had passed over it, but went back to it. So glad i did.
The dry notes smell lightly, but so deliciously of cucumber and mint. It’s so fresh smelling. As it steels you still get the cucumber and mint, but also smells sligtly of… Ummmm….. marijuana :\
I accidentally let my water boil oops, then over steeped it… This is why I need a breville.

My first sip was really sweet. But that tamed over the next couple of sips. It delicious and fresh. Cucumber like and minty. Very nice. Definitely lovin this one.

It is slightly bitter and a little dry in the mouth, but I’m sure thats a result of my crappy brewing.

I enjoy this tea. It made me seek out other cucumber teas. Also, I mess up the time/temp thing. I am in the “I need a breaville club”

I really love cucumbers, so this sounds really interesting to me! I didn not know they made such a thing as cucumber tea!

I ordered a Breville variable temp kettle to replace the variable temp kettle I got from Adagio. When it arrives the Adagio one will go to work with me and that way I can have perfect tea (or close enough) every time :D

I want… No need the Breville one touch.

52 teas also has a cucumber flavored tea, adagio does as well. Helena I wish I could bring a kettle to work…darnit no “cooking” appliances allowed.

the one touch looked interesting but I could never drink a pot of the same tea. I like mixing it up throughout the day.

I cannot remember how I managed without my Breville One Touch. It is the most amazing device ever.
