I prefer peppermint over spearmint but wasn't sure how well it would go with black tea, so I was cautiously optimistic about this tea. It turned out to be quite nice -- subtle yet smooth mint flavor blended into a solid black tea. It wasn't bitter at all. The flavor was robust enough for a solid two cups. The third cup was weaker -- a faded but still pleasant taste of the earlier cups. The caffeine felt mid range, so this may be best in the afternoon. I only tried this tea plain. It might handle a little sugar well, but it's best not to overpower its flavor.
