This week, Organic Peppermint from two leaves and a bud.
Cost: $5.99 at Whole Foods Market, with a $1 off coupon from an in-store tasting promotion. Hey, it worked! I bought it! And it was the unsweetened sample. That says mucho right there.
Number of teabags: 15
Oh, but they are presented so nicely, see?! Very portable - You could just pop this in your purse for an emergency peppermint tea fix.
Caffeine: None
Type of tea: Herbal
Steeping time: Per label 3 minutes. Get your water really hot, almost to boiling
Add ins: As is, or just a little bit of sugar.
Teabag fragrance: Minty!
Ingredients: Decaffeinated organic peppermint leaves.
Opinion: While pricey, this is a really, really good peppermint tea and worth the price. A great pick up/energizing tea. But for some odd reason, it seems to slightly raise my internal temperature about 15 minutes after drinking. That hasn't happened with other other peppermint/mint teas. So for me, it is not a relaxing drink after dinner tea, unless I need the boost. Definitely will reschedule this teatime for the 3 PM doldrums instead. Very smooth, not harsh at all. I have seen it go on sale at Whole Foods about every 4-6 weeks, and sometimes with a coupon, too.
Rating: 4.25 Only dinged for the price.
