Pure Peppermint

I am going to compare two different mint teas. This one is made by Twining's.

Flavor: The most prominent flavor, obviously, is a minty flavor. It is followed by a green, leafy taste that is somewhat sweet and flowery. While it is delicate, it also has a very clean feel, reminiscent of well brushed teeth. However, it does NOT taste like toothpaste. I would describe this tea as a "women's mint" tea. It feels "girly."

Suggested Additions: I did not add any. Adding any kind of sweetener, I feel, would give it more of a toothpaste flavor. If anything, lemon added to the mint might be interesting.

Ingredients: Pure peppermint.

Purpose: I drank it for the experiment, to compare the two teas. But it is a refreshing taste, even on a hot day, I think it would be fine to drink this hot or iced. There is no caffeine, so drinking it late at night would be fine as well.
