Taster’s Review:
Tonight, I am revisiting an old friend! I have enjoyed this tea previously, and have even written a review about it previously.
This tea tastes very fresh and clean without being too overwhelmingly minty. That is to say, that I enjoy mint, but sometimes too much mint in the teacup can be a bit… well, too much for me. Fortunately, this cup has a nice balance of flavor: mint with a pleasantly sweet green tea flavor.
Because of its somewhat mellow character, this makes a very refreshingly crisp iced tea as well as a restorative hot tea. It has a slightly sweet flavor to it already, so you needn’t add any sweetener. However, I do recommend trying a thin slice of lemon with this tea. Yum!

Product Description:
Black Tea blended with Apple and Mint
Tasters Review:
Apple Mint Tea from McNulty’s looks and smells like Black Tea with Apple and Mint….so I guess that means it lives up to it’s description.
The color of liquid post infusion is that of a black tea…medium to medium-dark brown, I would say.
I chose this one because I cannot think of ever trying a black tea with both apple and mint in this way before.
You can certainly tell it’s a flavored black when you taste it and the apple is a nice touch – the Mint is refreshing and just enough without being too much.
Apple Mint Tea from McNulty’s really surprised me. It’s fragrant and tasty all the way thru! Another nice offering from McNulty’s!

Tasters Review:
Black Tea and Mint. Two of my favorite things! I love black tea by itself or flavored – in most cases. I LOVE Mint and just about anything minty! Black Tea and Mint do not always work together but I am always eager to try minty black flavored teas to see who can pull it off! Sometimes they work nicely together and other times not so much. I will say – EnjoyingTea.com certainly pulled it off!!!
Moroccan Mint from EnjoyingTea.com is not ‘overly minty’ but I would say a Happy medium between the black tea and the mint. The aftertaste is refreshing. I am very pleased with this tea and with the minty goodness!
