Gunpowder Mint

I love iced mint green tea. While this one isn’t a Moroccan mint, the typical one I’d go for, it’s really good. I wouldn’t have thought jasmine and mint would work together.

This is nice and refreshing, really cooling. The mint isn’t overbearing and you can taste the gunpowder. There’s a slightly smoky, green tea behind the mint. The jasmine brings out some floral flavors too. There’s white tea in here also but I don’t taste it at all. The leaves are pretty chopped and it’d be hard to taste them over a gunpowder green anyway.

This makes a nice, quick iced tea. Thanks, TeaEqualsBliss!

Dry Aroma: Smoky, Minty, Green Tea, White Tea, Floral
Wet Aroma: More of a stereotypical gunpowder tea smell…with a little extra something…maybe it’s the combo of the Jasmine and Mint I am smelling.
Color: Light Yellow-Green
Taste: This has a unique gunpowder type taste. It’s not a gunpowdery-grass-smoky as some are but the mint is very nicely done and not too over the top and the Jasmine gives it a little extra something too! I think the addition of the white tea is also a nice touch! It’s smoother than I expected…it was a pleasant surprise, indeed!
Aftertaste: NOT grassy…it’s slightly floral-sweet with a very small hint of smoke trying to hide underneath. There is a lovely smoothness to the aftertaste too.

The more I sip this the more I like it!

This isn’t my first time brewing this tea – but it is my first time tasting it for myself. My oldest daughter loves mint green teas, so I have been sharing this one with her. But I thought it was about time that I have a cup for myself (before she ends up drinking it all!)

This has a very pleasant flavor to it. The mint does not overpower the tea. This is a blend of both green and white teas. Not surprisingly, the green tea is stronger than the white, but I like that I can taste some of the fresh white tea notes. Overall, it has a clean, crisp taste to it, but with an interesting background note of smoke as well as a hint of jasmine.

A very pleasant twist on the classic Mint green.
