Turkish Spice Mint

I’m really not sure how I feel about this one. It not great but it’s not terrible. It’s just as much licorice as it is peppermint and it reminds me of the one from TeaPigs that I hated but it isn’t as intense.

I am currently sipping on this, the second tea I received in my Foodzie Tasting Box. This is pretty good. The peppermint is not overwhelming, nor is the cinnamon, ginger or licorice… it all seems to be in pretty good balance. I would rather there be no stevia in this because I am getting that odd aftertaste from it, but, other than that, it’s not a bad tasting tisane.

It’s been a long week so forgive me for being a little confused by the pouch from Foodzie (generously passed on from my babysitting family) and thought jasmine green turkish spice mint was all one tea. But seriously Zhi, help a girl out by labeling the bags, eh?

Tried this on a whim based on the combo smell coming from the package. Color me sad to discover I picked the turkish mint and got no jasmine green mixed in (I was seriously intrigued by the mix). Aside from that, it’s pretty good. Added a little generic splenda while brewing as I was too lazy to go back to the kitchen after brewing.

The labeling on this tea bugged me. Maybe it’s just because it was enclosed in the Foodzie box but it bugged me that they kept saying loose leaf satchel…um, which is it? Can’t be loose if it’s in a bag…duh.

Good mint tea, my first actually, but I probably wouldn’t buy it.

Too much licorice and stevia for me. The peppermint flavor is nice, but pretty much overwhelmed for me by the licorice and sweetness, even if I steep at the low end of the recommended time. I feel like I’m just working my way through this tea. Anyone want it?

i should just stop getting teas with licorice in them.

Excellent flavor soothing, delicious a must own
