I've always enjoyed this tea! And Plum Deluxe just updated the recipe to make it more minty and it's even more of a winner! Lovely after dinner tea that will come in handy after those big holiday (or any day) meals! I just got this bag and I'm already almost out.

I was sent this tea to review. I'm not sure how they knew I love peppermint, but this was wonderful! I brewed this a bit longer as I like a stronger tea and I added honey. It was fantastic. Very minty. I also cold brewed it and forgot about it, so it was in the fridge for 2 days before I remembered. Ooops! SUPER MINTY! I sweetened it up as it was a bit too much. Overall, I would absolutely get this one again.

I steeped this for 6 mins at 212 and I did 2 tsp in 12 oz water and it this gave it a little bit of a bitter finish. I steeped the same amount at the same temp but only for 4 mins and it completely changed the bitterness. The peppermint in it is really nice! I like that it’s cooling in the mouth and it’s not too little and not too much. I do see a lot of people really liking this! I also like that the green rooibos is a nice vehicle for the peppermint and you can’t taste the rooibos much. I think there’s a lot of room for flavor enhancement, though, as it pretty much tastes like just plain peppermint. Vanilla is part of the name of this blend, yet it’s not included in the ingredients list and I didn’t taste any vanilla at all. I think some vanilla as a background note would really bring out the peppermint as well as a little bit of fennel seed to add some sweetness the way it adds sweetness to the Vanilla Sugar Cookie Herbal. I didn’t taste much sweetness from the apple. I do think it was clever to add the safflower petals to add the color red, representing the red candy cane stripes of a candy cane. I think the blend of green peppermint and rooibos, cream colored apple pieces and red safflower petals definitely looks like Christmas! This is a great tea for someone looking for a pretty much straight up peppermint tea. I will definitely be enjoying this throughout December with a touch of honey.

Light, sweet, and delicious (: tastes like Christmas

This tea is the perfect tea to help me wind down on these old winter nights. The peppermint is not overpowering; just enough tingle for your tongue. Quite enjoyable!
