Vanilla Mint Escape

After seeing Franks flavor of the week, White Chocolate Grasshopper Honeybush, all I have had on my mind is thin mints, candy cane ice cream and buttermints. These were all on my mind as I was browsing Adagio’s new store in Naperville, IL. The store looks amazing btw!

I found this jem in a section of custom blends and after sniffing the leaves, I had to have it. The leaves smelled like everything I’d been envisioning in my head. I grabbed samples of several other teas, and a few larger bags of tea, but this was THE tea I had to have tonight.

This blend is very creamy and mint tasting. Like those delicious after dinner mints that just melt in your mouth. The aroma is fresh mint and vanilla. It is naturally sweet and leaves a tingle on the tongue. I’m loving it!

Meghann sent me a sample and I finally got around to trying it today. :)

Hello warmth! It is so cold outside! The flavor was very unexpected! I had expected more mint but I got more vanilla and a nice hint and aftertaste of mint. It is so creamy and warm. Just a lovely blend. I added a little agave and milk. It made the vanilla stand out even more. Yum! SO warm. Just right for this cold day.

I’ve been in the holiday spirit, and have decided that I’m going to put my Christmas tree up this weekend. It’s been a number of years since I’ve bothered with it, but I’m really feeling the season.

So I reached for this on this cold, winter-like morning. Vanilla and mint together always gives me the warm holiday fuzzies. Meghann tucked some of this into my sampler box. Creamy vanilla, smooth black tea, and the perfect amount of mint to give you a pleasing zing and warm fuzzy feeling. This is delicious!! Thanks so much for sending some my way!
