Twinings Green Tea With Mint: Refreshingly Delicious!

by Leave a Comment

Twinings Mint Green Tea

I’m not sure why, but when it came to tea  I was slow when it came to jumping on the mint bandwagon. I’ve always grown mint in my herb garden and am obsessed with the smell, but the thought of flavoring food or drinks with it never seemed like an attractive idea.  I’d read raving reviews about mint tea and pretty much shake my head wondering, “How could people even do that?!”

Now I know – because the results are breathtaking!

One of my favorite new teas I’ve tried is Green Tea with Mint from Twinings.  This tea is extraordinary.   You can always judge how wonderful a tea is by how fast it disappears from our tea shelf.  This one may have broken a record. I bought a box on a Saturday and by Wednesday it was completely gone.

Suffice to say I love, love, love this tea.

I’ve probably mentioned this before, but when doing a review (whether it’s one of my Kentucky restaurant reviews, food blog reviews, book reviews, or tea reviews), I pay particularly close attention to the first words that come to mind.  After one sip of Twinings Mint Green Tea, the first three words that came to mind were refreshing, delicious, and wow.  Wow’s always good.

The second thing I thought was that I should have bought 2 boxes instead of just 1. I knew this one wasn’t going to last long.

If you can’t find Twinings Cold Brewed Iced Tea Green Tea with Mint in your favorite store, click the link and order a box from Amazon.

Better make that 2 boxes….

My 5 favorite hot teas this month…

by 2 Comments

As you may know (scratch that, you better know), January is National Hot Tea Month. I’m not sure how that works in other countries – I would recommend that they celebrate hot tea this month as well, but no one’s asked my opinion. Yet.

Anyway, as a way of celebrating hot tea, I’ve listed my current favorite hot teas below…obviously I’m pretty much crazy about most hot teas, but these are the ones that I just…can’t…stop….DRINKING. 🙂

White Coconut Creme by Tea Gallerie (official website): I cannot, with my great talent at words and description, even begin to describe how good this tea is. It seriously is amazing, and decadent, and reminiscent of a moist coconut cake that my mom makes that is out of this world. Make 2012 the year that you do nice things for yourself, and start by buying some of this tea.

 

Mint Chocolate Delight by Boston Tea Company (official website): Another tea that is delicious beyond words. Reminds me of those tasty after-dinner chocolates you get at Olive Garden when you’re ready to pay. Seriously one of the best teas I’ve ever had the pleasure of drinking.

 

Chocolate Hazelnut Decaf Tea by Stash Premium Teas (official website): This tea is so, so decadent. It’s like you’re drinking a fancy chocolate Starbucks latte, but without the calories or caffeine. There have been times when I’ve wanted something sweet to eat, but I’ve just brewed some of this tea instead. Less calories, and all of the taste.

 

Wild Sweet Orange Herbal Infusion by Tazo Teas (official website): This is one of my 5 favorite teas of ALL TIME, not just for the month. It’s also the only tea that I’ve been able to convince Dill (my soda-guzzling spouse) to drink, and he loves it. As in, drinks about 2 cups of it each night. Success!

 

Mint Medley Herb Tea by Bigelow Tea (official website): I’m a hussy for anything with mint in it, and this tea is no exception to my rule. It’s delicious and tastes wonderful hot. We all know how good the herb mint is for us, and it goes without saying that tea does a body good, so do the math, people…drink this tea. 🙂
