Shamrock Tea

This is a backlog –
Okay, I thought I’d rated this one. Had it a while back, when I got my ValenTEAS sampler from 52 teas. I love the Moroccan Mint from Teavana because it is minty, but man this tea is the equivalent of chewing gum minty-ness – my mouth was cold from drinking hot tea!
I really didn’t get any vanilla flavor, though, and I don’t know that I will be getting it again – but it was still a solid tea and I’m glad I tried it.

Thank you Teaequalsbliss for sending me some to try. This smells like mint with abit vanilla. I steeped this for a short time. This taste like a pleasant gree tea with spearmint and abit of peppermint and a touch of vanilla. I can taste all of the ingredients. None of them overwelm the other. Now I am not in to green teas much,except fruity greens once in the while,but this tea is extremely good.

I love peppermint and green tea together. I am drinking this in the morning and it is exactly what I was looking for. Really refreshing. A lot of minty teas I’ve tried before the tea flavor gets lost in the mint but with this one I can still taste the delicious green tea. Love it!

I didn’t taste any of the vanilla flavor, but there’s no denying the mint! This tea is STRONG in the mint department, and has a wonderful aroma in the leaves that lasts through, and may even be stronger in, the final cup.

It’s also a smooth tea that goes down cleanly and doesn’t leave a lot of aftertaste. There’s a hint of mint that leaves you feeling clean and fresh, but it’s pleasant, and doesn’t overpower your taste buds like the aroma would lead you to believe.

All in all, this is a great tea for any mint lover, and a nice green tea to drink if you’re looking to become one.

I am not sure what I did wrong….I was thinking there would be a strong mint flavor (sorry did not get mint flavor). I will try again in a few days and then give my review.
Oh well ….I will make another tea to enjoy (Lord knows I have enough samples to try).

Just in case my full review doesn’t show up again, here is a screenshot: http://i51.tinypic.com/149vwpw.png.

I have an affinity for sencha. Like, really, I live on the stuff, and I’m okay with that.

I’m the type of person who is hopelessly addicted to mint. I buy metromint water by the case, and often, instead of using traditional filtered water for my sencha, I make it in chocolatemint or lemonmint water instead. It’s so lovely! I am still waiting for metromint to come out with a vanillamint water (but that isn’t the point here!). The point is that this is another winner from 52teas, and vanilla + mint will ALWAYS be a winner in my book. Vanilla + mint + sencha is just so freaking glorious. It’s smooth, not overpowering, and even after I forgot about it while it was steeping because I was hunting for some mintwater, it didn’t end up bitter or awful (Which is bizarre, because sencha can be very sensitive!). I’m not complaining!!!

So much love, 52Teas, so much love…

Very smooth green tea… lots of mint flavor with just a hint of vanilla. My current favorite morning tea.

Delicious! Minty with a hint of sweet vanilla. See my review on nerditea.com!
