Black Tea with Mint

About Black Tea with Mint

Black tea with mint is a common form of flavored tea.

The mint can be dried and mixed with the tea leaves before brewing, and many teas are packaged and sold in this form. Alternatively, the essential oil of the mint can be used to flavor the tea leaves before packaging. Or, either dried or fresh mint leaves can be mixed with the tea at the time of brewing.

Because black tea and mint tea are usually both brewed with water near the boiling point, mint and black tea are easier to brew together than blends of mint with more delicate green teas.

Many varieties of mint exist; the most popular to use is spearmint, although other popular mints used include apple mint, peppermint, and orange mint.

Health benefits of blending black tea with mint:

Tea is known to inhibit iron absorption; mint, however, enhances iron absorption and can offset the inhibitory effect of the tea.[1]

Both the dry tea bag and brewing tea smell like straight-up spearmint oil.

Bigelow's base tea is too mild to stand up to the spearmint and I can neither taste nor smell any tea at all. Aside from the color, this is indistinguishable from plain spearmint. The spearmint is good, but I expect to taste tea in my tea.

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...

This tea is notably tastier than I was expecting. The mint was an accent, not dominant (and it wasn't spearmint, which is good). The tomato and decaf tea blended so that the flavor was more vegetal than tomato-like. I wouldn't have minded a stronger tomato taste, but overall the balance is quite good. So another decent...
