There is something about the combination of a smoky green and mint that wakes me up from any slump. After stealing several cups worth of peppermint from my neighbor, I finally broke down an ordered a 100g tin from Upton Teas (suggested to me by my partner in crime). I must say, I am pleased with the herb. It is more powerful than any other mint blend I have had at the school dining hall.
- 3/4 tsp China Gunpowder Green Organic (Special Teas #520)
- 1/2 tsp Domestic Peppermint (Upton Teas #389A)
- 1/2 tsp Spearmint (Frontier)
Steep 3 mins @ 180 degrees F
Review: A Moroccan mint that will knock your socks off. The smoky gunpowder taste is noticeable with the first sip, followed with cooling mint tones that linger. No need for sugar here.
