Lindsay drank Chamomile Mint by Metropolitan Tea Company

353 tasting notes

Got this a couple years ago when an online Metropolitan reseller had a going out of business sale. What is there to say? It’s chamomile flowers and mint leaves. It tastes exactly like you would expect. Actually, I’ll note that it feels like good quality – lots of big, fluffy, intact-ish chamomile flowers, and a lovely fresh mint scent from both the dry leaf and the brewed tisane. I have done two steepings (heavily leafed because didn’t bother to get out the scale and was trying to compensate for how fluffy the chamomile is) and both have been very nice. If you have been drinking a teabag version of this I recommend trying it in loose leaf form.

Flavors: Chamomile, Peppermint

Preparation

205 °F / 96 °C 4 min, 0 sec 3 tsp 10 OZ / 295 ML

Well it has been over a year and everyone I know thinks my tea obsession is a bit out of hand, so… I guess I’m not a total newbie anymore. :)

I’m drinking a lot more pure tea these days, though I still love a good flavoured blend too. Current favourites: Chinese and Taiwanese blacks, fresh Chinese greens, oolongs both green and roasted, sheng puer.

I really love companies that buy directly from tea farmers, and have an emphasis on quality and sustainability. Favourites: Verdant, Whispering Pines, Eco Cha, White 2 Tea. I live in a small town in the middle of nowhere, so I buy almost all my tea online.

For hot tea, I’m usually brewing in either a 100ml gaiwan, or a 10oz mug with a steeping basket. For cold tea, I cold brew overnight in 500ml mason jars.

My cupboard on Steepster doesn’t include small samples, just the ones I have at least 15g of. So if you see something you’re interested in, I probably have enough to share. :)
