On cold winter afternoons, I want something comforting and warm, therefore the mint and spices in this blend sounded like it would hit the spot!

Review: While I don’t always reach for mint teas, I do like them on certain occasions like cold days and nights. The dry blend had a strong mint, spiced, and peppy smell, which tickled my nose. The blend was earthy green and brown coloured with leaves, stems, ginger, fennel, cardamom, and peppermint. After infusing for 3 to 4 minutes, the dark earthy toned wet blend had a peppery, woodsy, and spiced smell, which was an absence of mint.
However, the dark amber liquor had a dominating mint and spiced smell and an equally strong mint taste. The sip started with a punch of mint, followed by spices, and finished with a kick of warmth at the back of the throat and mouth. When cool, the liquor had a sweet start and became earthy fennel, and peppery.
The blend was warm and comforting and I personally enjoyed it hot better than cooled. Since it has other ingredients, I found the green tea was muted and the blend overall had some earthy spiced notes (3/5 rating).
