This is the second time I’ve ordered this tea. When I opened the bag I could tell the mint in this batch was a lot stronger than the last one. The mint smell filled up my kitchen. I was a bit worried the mint would be too overpowering in the brewed tea.
After I steeped it for 3 minutes, I took a sip right away, while my cup was still steaming. The mint combined with the steam was overpowering at first, but I decided to let it cool a couple of minutes and was relieved that the mint had toned down, and the tea tasted like a Girl Scout thin mint cookie like I remember from the last batch.
I think they made a good choice choosing puerh as the base tea, since it combines well with the cacao nibs to make the blend actually taste chocolatey.
Flavors: Chocolate, Peppermint
