Peppermint from Adagio Teas

Prep: 212° water, 5 minutes steep, plain
Verdict: ★★★★☆ 4/5 Very Good!

Ah, peppermint. My first tea love. Adagio’s peppermint captures all the refreshing minty goodness for a truly thirst-quenching cup. 

The first sip is smooth and fresh, with a strong minty aftertaste that delightfully tingles your whole mouth and lips. The mint flavor has a plush taste, a roundness more reminiscent of a refreshing dessert mint (as opposed to the harshness of squirting toothpaste directly onto your tongue). 

Even as it tingles and freshens, the taste is still warm and balanced. Sometimes mint teas can tip over into a bitter, sharp taste, but this peppermint absolutely hits the mark. The mint has the bright, zingy freshness that characterizes everything there is to love about peppermint, but the overall taste is still round and smooth. With a plush taste followed by smooth mint tingles, this is a sweet, refreshing cup and a fine example of peppermint tea.
