Mojito Mint Green Tea with Matcha

Bagged Bonanza Tea #2 for today!
Thanks, Muppetlove

I thought I have tried and reviewed this in the past but now I am 2nd guessing myself.

Music while infusing this – Don’t You Forget About Me – I NEVER get sick of this song!

I’m not going to lie…I DO like the Mint and Lime Combo! It’s close to a Mojito aroma, yes.

I can taste the powdery texture of the matcha seeping thru the bag. It’s not really a wonderful Matcha-taste but it is recognizable as such. The Mint and Lime unify into one single flavor to create a new flavor of its own, I guess. I’m ok with that. It IS limy and minty but in a hybrid sort of way.

This is different yet satisfying. Not too shabby at all :)

Someone left a bag of this at work for me to try. The hint of lime with the mint flavor is kind of interesting. I might try adding a little lime to my next batch of moroccan mint, see how that turns out. Though this seems to sacrifice some mint in search of lime… and less mint is always less bueno, Mr. Mojito!

I find this tea interesting in that is has matcha powder. Presumably the matcha is mixed in with the tea in the tea bag. And presumably it dissovles while steeping.

The tea tastes like most other bagged mint green teas I have tried, with the addition of tart lime. The mint is subtle, with the lime flavour predominating. It does remind me of the flavour of a mojito. The tea is not bitter, but it is certainly not sweet like a real mojito.

I did not add any sweetener but next time I will. I think it would also make a refreshing iced tea.

I am unsure why there is the addition of matcha powder in the tea, but most likely for the health benefits. I do no think it adds much else to the tea.

This tea is ok, I think I prefer just plain mint green tea though.

I love this Mint tea when I need to wake up.

This tea is more mint than anything else.

The scent is powerfully minty, with hints of island zest, which intrigued me, as mojitos are a drink of choice for me.

Alas, the island zest could only go so far as the scent, as the flavor is mainly mint, with some faint green tea.

It’s not bad, but when the name says mojito, I would expect mojito.

I was initially a bit concerned about how “synthetic” the lime and mint flavors would be in this tea, but I needn’t have worried! It tastes wonderfully like a proper mojito. All it’s missing is a little bit of rum! Today’s cup is providing a bit of escape from a difficult writing assignment – one sip and suddenly I’m back on the deck at my favorite beach-side restaurant, enjoying the sun and the breeze with a mojito and a good book!

I’m the first to rate this? How is that possible? I splurged on some teas over on Lucky Vitamin and this was one of them. I knew it would work well! I haven’t drank matcha before, so I’m not sure how it compares. I wish there was more of a lime flavor and less of a peppermint (actually I think spearmint would have been a bit better than the peppermint as peppermint isn’t my favorite) but I can drink this the way it is. Good stuff!

Very minty and refreshing but the mojito component is mostly in the smell of the tea as opposed to the taste. Could probably do with a dash of lime.
