Commercial Description
A pleasing all natural combination of gentle Green Tea and the sweet fragrance of peppermint leaves. The elegance of this Ceylon green tea with the minty 'coolness' of the peppermint leaf, makes this a perfect after dinner tea. A medium bodied tea of honey coloured liquor and with an elegant texture. Good balance of aftertaste from the right mix of the mellow tasting green tea with the soothing but subtle mint.

I love Dilmah, but this is probably one of my least favorite teas of theirs. It just doesn't have any punch like other mint teas do. Try their other teas, but don't expect much if you get this in a sample pack.

I had this tea at a Barista outlet in Kolkata. I loved how fresh & uplifting this tea was! I have green teas regularly & thought this beats all the rest that I've ever had!
Cheers!

I tend to like Ceylon greens and I also like the typical Moroccan mint blends, so I was optimistic about this one. But this tea uses peppermint rather than spearmint.
Although the peppermint aroma is toned down relative to a pure peppermint herbal tea, peppermint still dominates the aroma. The underlying base tea is smooth and subtle, which makes it really hard to detect or uncover the tea beneath the mint. I mainly detect the tea in a rather tangy, slightly bitter taste that peppermint alone never has.
Also, there's an unpleasant quality to the aroma that I strongly dislike: it is faint, but suggests rubber, something I don't associate with food or drink.
The instructions said to brew for 2 minutes. I found the tea to be too weak, following these instructions.
I did not like this tea, but I remain open-minded about Dilmah. I tend not to like blends of peppermint with green tea, so it could be that this is a perfectly good blend but just in a style that I do not enjoy. To their credit, I think they used a relatively high-quality base tea.
