I have a serious cold, and decided to try Lupicia’s “After 5” mint green tea with honey. It cleared my head a little, but it’s surprisingly mild. I’ve used Penzey’s Spices to make mint tea – their dried Spearmint with honey and lemon is amazing. Of course, Lupicia is giving me mint GREEN tea, so the subtle nature of the tea is understandable. Considering the complexity of so many of Lupicia’s teas, I don’t think I’ll be ordering this when I’m in the mood for mint or green tea.
This is You :-D

Designer, photographer, gardener, and rabid locavore. Tea? I’ll have mine with milk and sugar, please. :)
I adore the silly ostentation of ordering tea in a restaurant. Coffee? Yeah, you get a mug and a saucer of cream packets. Tea? Oh, let us break out the wooden tea box, and get you a tiny little platter with a teapot and a mug and all the accoutrements…
If you are into swapping tea, I’m always happy to ship a sample of my cupboard in exchange for new and interesting teas!
