So while I was at Target tonight I went down the tea aisle looking for a plain peppermint tea. The only herbal mint tea they had was Harney and Sons peppermint. That was $5.99 for a good sized tin. Which is a good price for what you get, but I had only $8.00 to my name. So I bought this one. I usually like peppermint tea in the evening after a heavy meal, and this one is specifically called After Dinner.
I think I’m having buyer’s remorse. It not a bad tea, but I wanted peppermint and think I should have held off on buying until I found my stash peppermint or another mint tea. The flavor here seems very busy. Like I can’t quite identify all the flavors. First I think “There’s the mint!” but it immediately changes to black licorice. Or is that the ginger? I am just not sure. It’s all sort of muddy. And the liquor itself is cloudy.
As I said, it’s not undrinkable, but it’;s not peppermint. I think I may bring this box of bagged tea to church. On Wednesday evenings we have casual Bible Study and children’s classes, and there is a coffee pot and a hot water kettle for tea and hot chocolate. someone may appreciate this one a little more than I do.

I’ve concluded that with peppermint and chamomile, generally speaking, the less expensive stuff is about the same as the pricey version. (Unless you start messing with additional flavors.) Otherwise, it’s going to taste like peppermint or it’s going to taste like chamomile.
You are probably right, gmathis. peppermint is peppermint.
Rabbit chasing here, but I tried a Simply Balanced brand soup that was awfully tasty recently … roasted red pepper and tomato? carrot? Was well worth the fight I had to put up to get it out of its “juice box” packaging :)
I love After dinner tea and hope it is coming back tp Target.
