Just Peppermint

A delightful after-dinner surprise! I didn’t expect to find T2 tea in Hong Kong, not to mention in a hospital canteen! I love peppermint tea, especially after a dish of creamy risotto. As a peppermint tea, it is on the sweet side – makes me wonder whether it is really just peppermint or blended with a bit of spearmint. A refreshing cup of tea. And all of a sudden I miss T2 so much!

This is like the name says ‘just peppermint.’

I find that it leaves me with a very ‘toothpaste’ aftertaste that I can’t get over, and that sort of aftertaste is usually associated with spearmint but is unavoidable with this tissane.

I have tried it warm and iced and would recommend having it hot rather than serving it as an iced tea or mixing it with other tissanes/ teas because the “toothpaste” aftertaste becomes very pronounced when iced and will overwhelm whatever else you pair it with.

I’ve tried it with T2’s Strawberry Sensation and found that it completely voided the sweet berry taste and left you with a very strong mint aftertaste. However when had hot it is quite invigorating.

By far the best peppermint tea I have ever had! I love the sharp bite it has, and the soothing after taste. I find that it can really help to calm nerves or nausea and is a perfect choice for early mornings.
