Peppermint

I drink a lot of peppermint tea. It’s true. I really enjoy the way it tastes, I like the menthol feeling on my tongue and in the back of my throat, and I really enjoy the benefits of it (and the lack of caffeine as well). I know bagged peppermint pretty well.

How awesome is real peppermint? I mean, yeah, in the bag, it’s peppermint. But it’s not like peppermint dust. This is awesome. Amazing. So refreshing and yummy and minty! I used two level teaspoons and followed Adagio’s directions for steeping time and water temperature. The result was a green-yellow liquor that didn’t smell that strongly of peppermint.

But the taste! I still feel the coolness in the back of my throat. I’ve always felt that peppermint has a slightly bitter taste to it. Not this! No bitterness, and after the cooling effect, there’s a faint hint of sweetness. It’s really refreshing. I could drink this all day.

Loose leaf is proving to be super-awesome indeed. Color me impressed!

I finished the evening tea with a pot of this, and a little rooibos thrown in for good measure. It’s a good, hot drink; not quite as satisfying as a black or green tea, but a good option for the evening hours.

Must have understeeped this today…not as minty as usual but I am getting low…prob only one more serving left. I know it’s usually minty and good so I will keep the rating where it is.

I bought a huge lb bag of this! I love peppermint. It tastes so fresh! It is not artificial at all… especially compared to store bought peppermint teabags and other peppermint blends. The smell is intoxicating. I feel so refreshed.

I also took some vanilla rooibos and added it! Delicious!! Absolutely delicious!

This tea smells so good and the taste is amazing. I put this is my gunmetal green, and in my chamomile too. If you ever want to just breathe in some good, clean, delicious air just inhale this stuff before you steep it—in the canister.

This tea was very interesting. First off, it smelled great. The smell was so strong I could smell it before I even opened the tin. It had a typical peppermint flavor, which makes your mouth feel cold after you drink it. It’s such a curious sensation coming from a hot drink. Overall, I loved it. It tasted great on this winter day, which was cold, even for Texas.

One word: minty. I may have steeped this at too high of a temperature, so I’ll let the water chill for a minute next time.

Officially the best peppermint tea. I’ve had it in a semi-air tight case and it still tastes very fresh

This is the herbal tea I cant live without.

Intensely fragrant and fresh. Would blend well with green tea.

I drink a lot of mint tea. In summer, there’s almost always a pitcher iced in the fridge, and in winter I often drink it hot at night when I want to warm up but not stay up. Adagio’s is good, and the price is right.
