The other tea Utopia sent me. I haven’t had peppermint tea in FOREVER, and when I did, it was bagged. This is strong stuff if you haven’t had it in ages. As soon as you take a sip, it’s sinus clearing strong.

I love the taste of real mint, because it has that green herb taste behind the great and powerful minty flavor. But it gets to be too much. So I iced the rest, and it really cuts down on the sort of burn of peppermint power when cold, and I think it brings out the herbal flavor more.

And my stomach had ended up feeling upset after lunch, and this definitely fixed everything up. Yay, peppermint!

Well the good thing about just drinking peppermint tea because I can taste it is: SIPDOWN! I still have over 800 teas…lawd.

I’m going to switch back over to spearmint now. I have to say that I like spearmint a lot better. No matter how short I steep, I get that peppermint burn from it. Spearmint for some reason I can better control how I steep. I’d love to have had this cold one last time but I woke up around 3am coughing uncontrollably so hot drinks sound great right now. Even though it’s on its way to being 80 outside.

I used up the last of the 1/2 oz bag I had and didn’t really measure, but made sure not to steep more than about 3 minutes. It’s thankfully not as strong as it was last night when I know I made sure to only steep it for about 4 minutes.

And of course it tastes like mint. Nostril clearing mint.

ooh by the way I finally got go to see my garden yesterday, after almost a week. I started an album now: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.4985004551900.1073741828.1503090120&type=1
I really need to take care of the stuff on my patio a bit better now, oddly though the cucumber plants in the garden plot are way smaller than the ones at home. I almost want to switch them out haha. I’m getting sad everything else on the patio is very slow, I would love to use fresh spearmint for some tea too.
