I ordered this tea from the Republic of Tea. Peppermint tea is one of my faves for quiet evenings before bed. Between the cancer progressing to Stage 4, and my baby brother dying of a heart attack at age 53, and that rotten day job, I have been under a LOT of stress these last few weeks. So I liked the sound of this one.
But I didn’t love it. I could barely make out the mint flavor and there was something odd in the sip. Maybe the KSM-66 Ashwagandha Root Extract? I am giving it a rating of 70 for now. When I had it last night my nose was completely clogged. Even without a sense of smell, I can usually detect the cooling sensation of mint. So I will try it again in a few days and see if my opinion changes. I hope it does. Otherwise I have 35 more tea bags of this!

So sorry you have been under stress, I’m sure that doesn’t help your fight against the cancer. Did you double up your RoT tea bag? I usually do that for small bags like they have, and also for most Celestial seasonings bags.
@Michelle No, I didn’t try that. I will use 2 bags next time and see if that helps. Thanks!
Maddy, I am so sorry for all you have been through lately. Hoping for comfort for you.
@Ashmanra Thank you! It has been kinda rough. But I am feeling pretty good. And I am going for lunch with a friend today so that should give me a boost.
Sometimes words don’t convey your heart very well—I’m at a loss to express how sorry I am that your load is so heavy. Praying for you! Enjoy your friend time—that’s good therapy!
That is far, far too much stress. I hope that both friend and teatime serve as bright spots for you.
I wish you stress relief soon!
Thank you, gmathis Kelmishka* and Martin. It certainly has been a rough stretch of road lately. It will get better. I had an absolutely rotten day at work until a co worker gave me a hand with something. Isn’t it funny (as in awesome) how one person can completely change your attitude? We are having out first winter storm of the year and I plan a quiet evening with a good book and some tea.
Just seeing your note now— I’m very sorry for all you have been through lately. I’m sorry for the loss of your brother. Wishing more positive for you (and that you at least find the best books for you!)
