I drink a lot of mint tea, both in black tea blends, green tea blends and herbal blends. Most mint teas are made with either peppermint or spearmint, but this tea mixes both! I actually thought that maybe the 2 mints would not be good together since they do both have different flavors, but I was pleasantly surprised. Perhaps it was helped by the green tea base and some lemongrass as well.
Stash describes this tea as:
Stash blends China Young Hyson green tea, spearmint and peppermint from Oregon, and freshly cut lemongrass for our fragrant and delicious Moroccan Mint green tea.
The mints blend together nicely and don’t taste too overpowering at all. In fact, I was really expecting it to taste overwhelmingly, terrifyingly minty, but it wasn’t at all. While the first ingredient is green tea, I will admit that I couldn’t taste it at all, but the lemongrass does give it a slight citrus-y flavor. The spearmint gives the tea a slight sweet flavor while the peppermint packs the minty punch. It was a very nice cup of tea to enjoy in the afternoon!

I just took my first sip of this tea. It’s quite good. I just wish it came decaffeinated.
