Peppermint

Judging from the package design, what I’m currently drinking must be old (but the whole thing was still shrink wrapped). It’s gentle mint, not sharp, but what I need for a no-caffeine midafternoon perk-up.

Christmas day, w00t! Merry Christmas, Steepster (even though it’s nearly 1 am here and that’d make it December 26th, but who’s counting?!)!

LOTS of tea given to me as presents today! My TeaGschwendner order and Harney & Sons order were sitting under my tree, wrapped by my mom. And the boyfriend suprised me with a bunch of stuff, including the Art of Tea Dessert sampler I was eyeing in the Steepster Select a few days ago! YAY! Can I say yay again? YAY! Super-over-abundance of tea.

Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to drink a lot today at all, since I was out for most of the day. But I did manage to have some of this peppermint during dessert time at my aunt’s house. Honestly, this tasted pretty much like nothing. No flavor whatsoever. I could have cared less, though, because I was eating my mom’s famous apricot tarts and my aunt’s walnut tarts, so it really didn’t make a difference WHAT I was drinking.

But much Christmas happiness overall!

I drank this afternoon at the office, trying to compensate for yesterday’s caffeine overdose that kept me awake half of the night.
It wasn’t great, not a lot of flavors. The little flavors you get from this tea-bag does not taste like fresh peppermint, but felt as if the bag was very old and had been forgotten in a cupboard for years (which is definitely not the case given my colleagues consumption of this brew). I’m sure a second cup with the same tea-bag would be extremely watery.
A very basic herbal tea, not bad-tasting, whose main advantage is that it’s widely available and rather cheap.

meh. lipton was the only tea at the hospital.. so i chose this.

Stereotypical Lipton. Stereotypical Peppermint Bagged Tag. However, this specific one sure brings back memories of my childhood when my Grandmother first got me into TEA at the age of 3…so for that reason alone I will be scoring it higher than I normally would…teehee…or should I say TEAHEE

All in all this isn’t my favorite peppermint that i’ve come across in my time, but I say for what it is it’s alright.

Peppermint tea is the best when you’re completely stressed out. It’s warming and refreshing at the same time. It’s the ultimate comfort. Three cups and you’re good to face the world. (Based on my experiences.)

I forgot that I drank this yesterday morning after waking up with a horrible sore throat. I am not fond of this tea but my throat felt better afterward.

I don’t think you can go wrong with a peppermint tea. Nothing amazing about this one though.

very very very slow…
