This is the tea from Day 7 of the advent calendar from Teanzo.
Here’s my full-length review (which includes a photo of an ornament I made out of a burned out lightbulb a few years ago): http://sororiteasisters.com/2014/12/07/24-days-of-tea-holiday-countdown-day-7-from-teanzo-1856/
I was happy to find a minty tea like this in the box – and especially happy to find that this Moroccan Mint tea is a gunpowder base. Maybe it’s because my first Moroccan Mint tea was a green gunpowder base that I think that all Moroccan Mint teas should be like that, but it would seem that “Moroccan Mint” is a name that any minty tea can use, even if it’s a straight, 100% mint tisane. shrug
Anyway, I like the balance of flavors here – the mint isn’t overdone. It doesn’t have a strong, overwhelming toothpaste-y or mouthwash-y taste to it. I like that I taste the green tea prominently and the mint is an accenting flavor and doesn’t get in the way of the complexity of the gunpowder.
This one resteeps well too.
super cool ornament!
Thanks. I was very happy with the way they turned out.
