I have been travelling for the holidays, which has meant living off tetley tea bags (gasp). However, while the bf was running an errand at the mall, I snuck into a DT and picked up a tin of this.
First few sips, interesting, liked the mint was intrigued by the strength of the other spices. Surprisingly, I really liked it.
One caveat though, I found that with a longer steep the fennel started to really sneak in and I was a little less in love with the taste. However, given a properly timed steep, I found this tea delightful. It is a nice alternative to my other mint teas. I am glad I picked some up to try.

One tip, and sorry if I"m speaking out of turn – try not to buy tins of teas that you haven’t tried before! I did that when I first starting at DAVIDs and ended up with tea that took me years to drink because they weren’t what I hoped for. 20g bags are your friend. :P
I really like this tea. It’s one I probably never would have tried on my own, but a friend rec’d it and I’m happy I gave it a shot. It’s not often I have pepper in tea.
I hear you on the tins, I have more than a couple that are probably great teas but are not great for me teas. What saves me with mint is that, if I don’t like it, it is the one type of The I know the bf will drink regardless of what it is blended with . That being said, thanks for the reminder, I am so used to having to buy online I forget that I can get smaller amounts in the store (and I have a ridiculous teachers need for symmetry and matching tins which does not always help me…)
Hahahha, yeah I understand wanting all the pretty tins, and colour coordinating them etc. :)
