Mint

This tea doesn't appear to have a name. Usually I go with the word that is prominent on the packaging that appears not to be the brand name. In this case, the word was "Mint." It is by Steaz Iced Teaz and is a lightly sweetened organic green tea with mint flavoring.

Flavor: The taste is not unpleasant, however, the best way I can describe the flavor of this tea is: "coffee and vegetables," which sounds awful. The initial taste is definitely the basic green tea taste- think Japanese restaurant tea, but without the bitterness. That is followed by an herby vegetable taste. The flavor of the mint does not hit until after the swallow.

Suggested Additions: I would not add anything. The only thing I might say in this area is that I got it from a refrigerated section of the supermarket, but let it warm to just below room temperature before drinking with dinner. I did not do this on purpose, it just took me longer than expected to get my dinner ready. It is possible it was meant to be drunk straight from the refrigerator, however I find that very cold beverages are harder to taste, so I'm glad I let it warm up a little.

Ingredients: Filtered water, organic cane sugar, natural flavors, organic lemon juice, organic green tea.

Purpose: I am always on the lookout for more iced teas. I have plenty of hot teas, but this is summer and it just feels wrong to drink a hot beverage. Green tea has caffeine, so be careful.
