Makes the perfect tea cocktail. A Chinese green tea blended with lemongrass and peppermint.
Sommelier’s notes:
8 oz water (180F) | 2 tsp loose tea | steep 3 minutes
Add a bit of organic cane sugar, lime, mint, and rum to create the MoTEAjo cocktail, Tavalon’s twist on the Mojito.
Tavalon's goal is not only to create the best tea blends the world has ever known, but also to cater these tea blends to the American palate. We aim to become a tea company for both tea connoisseurs and newcomers to the tea world, providing premium teas and accessories to a global audience.
I received a bit of this tea from a tea friend.
This tea tastes good, although it is quite different than I expected. Typically, when I think of a mojito, I think of the mint and lime cocktail.
Of course, I can taste the mint in this blend… and it is a very crisp, refreshing peppermint. I can also taste the green tea, although it does sometimes seem to lose its way in this cup – that is to say, the mint somewhat overpowers the green tea.
But there is no lime! There is lemongrass which provides a citrus-y note and a tart appeal to the aftertaste. Even with the lemongrass, I find myself missing the lime.
I find myself enjoying this blend, and yet, at the same time, my palate seems to sense that something is missing. This does make a very delicious iced tea – and I think that is what I am going to do with the rest of this.
Is there rum flavor in it? That may be what’s missing. I know my local tea shop has a mojito blend only it has no rum flavoring in it so it’s just lime and mint green tea.
It also might taste better cold made w/ soda water. I was gonna get 52teas’ champagne mojito tea cuz I LOVE both champagne and mojitos, but the idea of hot mojitos just sounded icky lol.
No there is no rum flavoring either. I brewed up what I had left of this tea, and have it cooling in the fridge so that I can enjoy it tomorrow. I added some “true lime” to it before it cooled, so I am hoping that the addition of lime will be just the ticket for me.
