Mint Majesty

I’ve been drinking this a lot at work because I’ve gotten sick…it started on my birthday yaaaaaaay

This is just a standard blend of peppermint and spearmint. I don’t see it on their site? Offhand I’m not sure if it’s entirely a dupe of Tazo refresh which I may have to drink next.

But yeah if you’ve ever heard of half mint tea, half steamed lemonade/apple juice from Starbucks, I think it’s helped. I kind of want another but I don’t want to go outside.

My go-to tea when I go to Starbucks! I usually get some type of fancy hot or cold coffee drink but occasionally when I’m not in the mood for a racing heart and the jitters, I get this! It’s calming and soothes my soul. It’s mild and smooth and bright and I love sipping it while chatting with my friends. Has a pleasant after-taste and doesn’t leave a muddy mouth-feel like some cheap mint teas I’ve tried in the past.
I really can’t detect any lemon but I do recognize a hint of “something” mingling with the mint.
As long as Starbucks continues to carry this, it will always be my first tea-pick from their menu.

I recently found this tea in the back of my cupboard while de-stashing and gifting teas to friends and family. I had forgotten all about it, but I’m happy I found it again. I drink minty flavored teas quite often, but I struggle to find blends I enjoy because I’m not a fan of straight peppermint tea. This Mint Magesty has a good blend of mostly spearmint with a little bit of peppermint and lemon.

This is a great morning tea. The minty flavor is light and balances well with the lemon without being overpowering (as I find many peppermint teas are.) Sadly, this has both been discontinued and my local Teavana has gone out of business so I’ll be on the lookout for a replacement once I finish the rest of my tin.

Mint Majesty features spearmint, peppermint, and lemon verbena which makes it a refreshing twist on traditional peppermint tea. I have used plain peppermint tea for digestive support for many years now but I think this may be its replacement. The spearmint makes the tea very crisp while the peppermint is familiar and pleasant. What has me hooked, however, is that verbena that adds a bit of natural sweetness.

Judging by the texture and flavor, this Mint Majesty from Teavana would seem to be a version of (if not identical to) Moroccan Mint. In other words: gunpowder green along with a couple of different mints. If this is the same as the Moroccan Mint available in loose leaf form at Teavana, then I should probably get some at some point since it is one of their least expensive offerings and truly a bargain, given the taste!

I had a grande cup at Starbucks today and was pleasantly surprised. No more Tazo Refresh, so there is no caffeine-free mint tea available at the stores, but the taste was quite good for a mint-flavored green tea. I just read the reviews for Moroccan Mint at Teavana, and some people hate it, claiming that it is bitter.

Because I thought that this was supposed to be an herbal tea, I left the bag in my cup the whole way home, but with no negative consequences whatsoever, I am happy to report. This would seem to show that the discontent expressed by some at Teavana’s website probably is not a result of oversteeping. Maybe overheating? Or perhaps this simply is a different tea.
