Slightly plasticy, but I wouldn’t notice if I weren’t drinking out of porcelain. It reminds me of when you eat an avocado, that smooth not-quite-buttery flavor left in your mouth after you swallow. ![]() And yet, it only tasted of mint and a non-descript fattiness that I suppose is meant to be vanilla. The leaf smelled horrible and brewed a particularly unappealing hue of yellow. The steam smelled better had the heat burnt off the dentist toothpaste? I detected a hint of creamy vanilla in the steam, but was hesitant to believe it. My prize was the definite odor of dentist toothpaste, so strong and true I felt the grit in my mouth and winced. I fought it, exercising my right to screw up royally, and won. The bag resisted opening like some loving god was doing its best to help me. While that probably didn’t add to the flavor, it sure did add to the feeling. The particular bag of this I brewed from spent a not-insignificant amount of time in a hardhat.

At one point in time I actually had a lime and mint “mojito” inspired tea, but it has been long gone from the cupboard now. Happy birthday to my bestie Todd! And Happy National Mojito Day!
