Oh goodness, does this tea ever hit the spot. What I love about this tea the most, is that it contains no bitter or strange aftertaste. Some of these mint teas sometimes have a spinach type after taste. Your not getting that here.

I love the peppermint flavor, but wish I didn't have to use 2 tea bags to really pick up on the flavor as I love a stronger tea. I normally steep a 12 oz cup. I suppose you are looking at an average of about 8 oz for a normal cup. It doesn't really say on the directions. It does however say to steep for 3-5 minutes. I steep it for 5, always with Celestial Seasonings. I guess I prefer it a bit stronger since these teas don't contain any caffeine.

I am not really tasting any green tea here. I don't really mind since green tea isn't my favorite. The flavors of peppermint and vanilla seem to overpower anything else in the ingredient list. This tea produces a light golden brown cup. The aroma is also very pleasant and reminds me of Christmas. I love Celestials Holiday Teas, as well as most of their other teas.

I highly recommend trying all of the holiday teas. They are inexpensive enough to purchase them all, at around $2.50 per box. These make perfect little stocking stuffers too. I plan on giving all of the mothers in my son's boy scout pack a box for Christmas along with a Christmas card. I think they make a nice small token of appreciation without breaking the wallet. You are getting 20 taggless tea bags per box. Each box comes in its own holiday decorated packaging.

Ingredients Found on Packaging:




Peppermint, Decaffieinated Green Tea, Orange Peel, Natural Vanilla and Mint Flavors with Other Natural Flavors, Cinnamon, Milk Thistle, Blackberry Leaves, Roasted Carob, Toasted Chicory and Vanilla Bean.

Overall




Overall, I would drink this tea again and found it very smooth and tasty. If I could change one thing about this tea, I would make it stronger. I love the minty taste. What is best of all, is that I can still experience all the tastes of Christmas without adding all of those extra calories and fats in my diet. This tea contains no nutritional values.
