Spearmint

Herbal Tea by Adagio Teas

Dried spearmint leaves to make a minty, refreshing drink that is highly satisfying both hot and cold. A native of the Mediterranean, spearmint was revered by ancient Romans for its ability to ‘stir up the mind.’ It continues to be savored for its refreshingly light aroma, as well as its natural, caffeine-free taste. If you have yet to try gourmet spearmint, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by its superior flavor.

Needed to cleanse my palate after the whole Earl Grey Lavender thing, and what is better at palate cleansing than mint I ask you? (the answer is nothing. unless you know of something, in which case, tell tell!) It’s weird, because I hate spearmint flavored stuff, but I love this tea! It’s like mint but with a twist! It is mint but as directed by M. Night Shyamalamalamalamalan. But it doesn’t get worse with each subsequent movi-i mean, cup! Anyway, awesome as usual!

We now interrupt your scheduled destruction of various samples to bring you a bulletin on mint:

Mint is tasty and soothes the stomach that has overindulged on cheez-its, which I like for reasons that I cannot explain even though I am pretty sure they are made completely of chemicals. The end.

Addendum: Put in my first 52teas order today! (not the hot cinnamon tea of the week, that scares me, but some other cool stuff!) I am totally stoked!

Sometimes one needs something that is simple, straightforward, and reliable.

I’m really enjoying this – mellow, slight sweetness and a lovely mint. Perfect for a relaxing, night tea.

I’d never had a plain mint tea before, and so when trying to find more caffeinie-free options I saw spearmint (which I tend to reach for when buying gum) and decided to get a sample. I don’t have a lot to say about it other than it’s pretty much what I expected, only maybe a bit more crisp. I think that this shall be my mint tea of choice to keep a small amount on hand. NE

This is also the first time that I am having pure spearmint as a herbal tea. A light and sweet mint but to be quite honest not as good as I expected it to be after my experience of enjoying spearmint candy more than peppermint. Shocking as I think in reality when it comes to plain mint tea I actually like peppermint more but overall when it comes to a peppermint/spearmint blend Adagio’s beat the bagged variety big time.

Light and pleasant, but lacking in any distinct pizazz.

I love the smooth mint flavor of this spearmint tea. The taste is not over powering and is strong enough for the senses to enjoy. It is currently in my tea rotation.

Alright, I’ll sum it up here: On it’s own – very unimpressive and chore to finish. As part of a Moroccan Mint-like home blend – superb. However, I do recommend a strong, full bodied green like gunpowder to be able to tangle with the powerful spearmint flavor. Enjoy!

Not bad at all. I prefer to use this to mix with other teas and herbals though.

I loved this, but I’m a huge fan of minty teas. It’s great for mixing with others.

All I want lately is minty tea.

Wanted to compare this to the Casablanca Twist I had earlier today, and there’s really not a huge difference. The only thing that’s lacking is that slight earthy flavor from the Darjeeling in Casablanca Twist. I think I prefer this.

Another tin gone! Woohoo! I’ll be getting a bunch of samples in swaps this week (thanks, everyone!), but I haven’t made a tea purchase since mid-December, which is a big deal for me. This is a nice, soothing tea for Sunday night.

Yum. Refreshing and minty.

I love mixing this with both peppermint and chamomile. Soothing and refreshing.
