ERIN’S TEA SHOW NOTES
December 9th is “North African Mint”.
It is a Green Tea, temperature 82 degrees, steep for 3-4 minutes.
Smells minty with a hint of spice.
Contains Japanese Hojian Green tea, that is roasted in a porcelain pot over charcoal, not steamed.
Low caffeine.
Be sure you are using correct steeping time and temperature.
Should be drank without milk/sugar.
Has ginger, peppermint, fennel.
All of the above are known as digestive aids.
Ruling: tastes like peppermint tea more than green tea, but it has a definite clove taste. It would be paired well after a spicy dinner. If you are having Indian, Thai or anything savory, this is a great tea for that!
