As you may know, I'm not the biggest fan of Tazo. I find that their tea seriously lacks in flavor or is just god-awful. There are exceptions, such as their whole leaf teas, but Tazo as a company has just not impressed me. That pessimistic thought aside, I was cleaning my backpack today, which is shocking for me, when I found this tucked in the same compartment as I put my make-up that I never wear. My first thought was "Oh, that sounds tasty" and I needed a drink, so I fired up the Keurig and decided to give it a go.
Outsides: I kinda ripped the label before I could read all of the ingredients, but it looks like there's only peppermint, spearmint and tarragon. The sachet is nice and individually foil-wrapped, and is your standard tea bag. I just stuck the bag in 8 oz of boiling water and honestly don't care about the time because it is an herbal. It's a bit darker than your standard herbal tea and smells extremely strong for something that has been in my bag for 2 months.
Insides: Well color me impressed, this is some potent mint tea. It has that hint of sweetness that most mint teas do and the tarragon is only evident in the beginning, but the mix of peppermint and spearmint really brings a lot of good minty flavor to this. Is it revolutionary? Not really since most mint teas taste like the same thing, but this one kicks it up a notch in terms of intensity.
Overall: I actually recommend this if you want mint tea. You could probably buy mint leaves cheaper, but this is a nice mix and would probably do wonders for a stomachache.
My Rating: Buy it!
Tazo is everywhere. Starbucks, grocery stores, department stores, everywhere.
