Thursday Tea Time - Minty Fresh!

This week - Trader Joe's Mint Melange Tea
Cost:  $2.29
Number of teabags:  20
Caffeine:  No
Type of tea:   Herbal
Steeping time:  4-5 minutes
Add ins:  Plain, a little sugar, a little honey, Natural Bliss Low-Fat Vanilla.  Your choice, all great options!
Fragrance:   Minty
Ingredients:   Organic Peppermint, Organic Lemon Grass, Organic Spearmint
Opinion:   A nice light and green, not Christmas-y peppermint candy cane, tea.  It's definitely a summertime treat.  How perfect brewed as a cooling and refreshing iced tea with a sprig of mint from your garden?  This would also help sooth a troubled tummy, sipping hot.  It leaves behind a minty fresh feeling in your mouth, stronger than when you are actually drinking it - a pop of pow.  Neither the peppermint or the spearmint dominate over the other, and the lemongrass gives a nice boost of flavor.  Definitely seek and grab a box of this.
