Plantation Mint

I am comparing two different mint teas. This one is made by Bigelow.

Flavor: Instead of peppermint, this one tastes a bit like spearmint. It has a cooler, greener taste, and hints at being bitter but isn't really. It has a strong flavor that makes me want to say this is a "man's mint" tea.

Suggested Additions: A tiny bit of sugar may take those hints of bitterness away, but again, adding sugar to a mint flavor runs the risk of making it taste like toothpaste. Sweeten at your own risk!

Ingredients: Unknown

Purpose: I drank this one for my own amusement, to do this comparing blog post. But it is a good taste, and I would suggest it as an after-dinner tea. Also, no caffeine, so its good in the evening.
