My tastings of this tea so far probably don’t do it justice, as my wife picked up a couple of packets that were on sale at a bargain store because their use-by-date had nearly expired. It’s now two or so months past the use-by-date, but as the packets were still sealed I decided to give it a go.

I like mint teas, particularly as an aid to digestion after a heavy meal, but I don’t enjoy an overly-minty flavour. What I like about this tea is that it has a good body, with a noticeable but not aggressive mint flavour.
