Taster’s Review:

Minty!  This Dragon Mint Rooibos Blend from Shanti Tea is for those of us you who really love mint!

The mint flavor here is strong!  So strong that it nearly overpowers the rooibos.  And in my opinion, that’s not a bad thing, especially since rooibos aren’t my favorite thing.  This blend has just enough rooibos to add just a little something extra to the cup – a pleasing nutty tone in the background – without adding that sometimes “off” or funky taste that comes from rooibos.

Then there is the PEPPERMINT!  It is really zesty and invigorating!  And yes, it does have a very minty taste, but, perhaps it’s that nutty note that is in the background … but I am not thinking “toothpaste” or “mouthwash” as I sip this.  It is definitely fresh tasting … and leaving my mouth feeling fresh and clean.  But it’s more like a breath mint to me than an oral hygiene product.

A pleasant cuppa served hot or cold!
