lolainred drank Moroccan Mint by Harney & Sons

127 tasting notes

This tea is finicky. I have to be VERY diligent when I’m making this one.

If the steep time is too long… bitter and astringent.
If the water is a tiny bit too warm…. bitter and astringent.
over leaf…. bitter and astringent.

But when I manage to get everything just right, its a nice smooth vegetal green tea laced with a subtle mintiness. It smells purely of mint, but me, I taste mostly the green tea with the mint coming in at the end.

If anyone has tips on how best to make this… I would LOVE them!

Bio

The first time I tried loose leaf tea at home, I was hooked. I’ve been drinking tea for years now, though I still feel like such a newbie in the world of teas. There are so many things I’ve never tried from so many new to me companies!

I used to be very much a black tea drinker, but have started, in the last year, to realize that I prefer the lightness of greens and whites much more.

That said, I will basically try any tea once (probably twice, just in case)!

My review categories:
100-94: I never want to run out of these!
93-80: Restock please!
79-60: Definitely like, but not a must have
59-50: Not lovin’ it, but I’d drink it again
49 & below: nope, Nope, NOPE.
