This? This tastes like hot liquid soap.

It smells nice, though, so at least I can empty the bags for potpourri or something.

Hey Steeps!

I am not the biggest Pukka-fan at the moment… Maybe I lost the gift of tasting.
Why? Because ALL their (Pukkas) tea taste like bitter liqourice or hibiscus. I loved this tea half a year ago, but now It’s like:

“Meeeeeeeeeh.”

Let me explain. The tea smell like herbs, with a fresh and “bitter” note. When the bag is steeped the bag leeks out a red color, that slowly colors the tea red brown. Taking a sip reveal a sweet bitter tea with a spicy end. Is this minty? I don’t know. Or rather – I can’t taste the “mint.” It taste more liqouricelike than minty if you ask me.
Is there something wrong with me? Did a scorching warm tea a month ago burn of some of my tongue? It’s a mystery.

… But I’ll give it a good rate. In the beginning, this was one of my faves from this company. I think the first impression is the one that count when it some to tea. Everyone changes slowly, but the taste of tea dosn’t.

I wanted a different sort of peppermint tea…where other flavors actually stood out and toned the peppermint. Which is why I had high hopes for this one. But no, totally disappointed…can’t even finish a whole cup.

I don’t like to hate on products just because I dislike a flavour. I absolutely HATE peppermint, it’s like eating toothpaste for me. Hidious. So skeptically I tested it, but no. MINTY!

I would guess a mint lover could love it, but the other review here suggests otherwise. I would give it a try though – A LOT of minty goodness here, for those of you who appreciate that ;)

So disappointing. I’m usually a fan of mint teas and I like rose and fennel as well, but this one had such a strong “soapy” flavour that I didn’t finish my cup (and I did give it two tries in case I was missing something the first time)!
