The Tea Spot Green Roasted Mint Loose Leaf Tea Review

Super minty with a hint of smokiness.

I’m reviewing The Tea Spot Green Roasted Mint loose leaf tea today.  I actually steeped the tea this morning but I’ve been so busy I haven’t had a chance to drink it and now I’m redoing the review again and it’s 11pm!  In the morning, me and Dean went to Dynamic Wheatgrass Farms and Charlinda’s (they have hot chocolate comparable to Max Brenner’s in NYC).  And in the evening I went to buy a house with my parents.  I’m super excited to move in because I’m going to have a huge storage space in my kitchen just for my teas!

The ingredients of this tea are peppermint and Hojicha, a roasted Japanese green tea.  A little background about this tea,

Hojicha is naturally lower in caffeine than other green teas, while peppermint aids with muscle relaxation and digestion.

I had a bit of an oily dinner, so I am looking forward to having this to help me digest all the food!  The nose on this tea is minty and refreshing.  The liquor of the tea came out a beautiful brown with a hint of gold.  Taste test time.  Mmm.  The tea is very minty.  Unfortunately, the peppermint really overpowers the more subtle taste of the Hojicha.  This is still a very good tea, cold or hot.  I just wish the taste of the Hojicha was stronger.  Velvety smooth, it’s helping me digest my meal very very well.  There is a hint of a smoky finish on the end which is very nice.  A nice twist to a classic tea.
