Taster’s Review:
Oh, man, I am LOVING these cold-brew iced teas from Den’s Tea. Yeah, yeah, I know that they’re bagged teas, but, I just love how convenient it is to cold-brew these teas. I just plunk five bags into my half-gallon iced tea pitcher along with a half gallon of freshly filtered, cool water and seal the lid, and stash it in my fridge. The next morning, I have a pitcher full of delicious, refreshing iced tea.
And this Mint Iced Tea from Den’s doesn’t really need anything more than that! No sugar or other sweetener, nothing. It’s got a pleasant sweetness to it without anything more added, and it has a cool, crisp minty taste that adds to the overall refreshment of the glass of iced tea.
The green tea is the strongest flavor, and that’s the way it should be. The green tea tastes vibrant and clean with a sweet, vegetative taste. I like that the mint flavor – a combination of both peppermint and spearmint – is also strong, but it doesn’t overpower the green tea. That happens all too often with mint teas … the mint flavor becomes so dominate that all one can taste is the mint. I drink tea because I like tea, not for the added flavors. The added flavors do add a little something extra, but really, when it comes right down to it, it’s all about the tea for me … and I like that it’s all about the tea with Den’s tea, too.
A very refreshing way to cool off during these hot summer days!
