Tea Blog!
I had to buy more tea despite being broke AF because it was cheaper than the other options I had - ie: get to a chemist and get something medical for this killer heartburn.
So I went and got some Three Mint Pukka Tea.
The ingredients are: Peppermint leaf, spearmint tea and fieldmint tea. Now, I HATE mint so, so much, but I hate heartburn more - I’ve eaten nothing but oatmeal and beans for 5 days, and I have to do SOMETHING.
So, like all the Pukka Teas, this has a stupid long infusion - up to 15 minutes! WHY would anyone wait 15 minutes to get a drink? This is the dumbest thing I have ever read in my life. 15 minutes. WHY? This is so dumb.
I added sweetener.
It actually smells nice? Like I expected it to smell like toothpaste and it doesn’t. Waiting 15 minutes though. Why?!
Okay, so. It tastes VERY subtle. Way more than I was expecting, especially with my dislike of mint. The aftertaste is cool, and a little minty, but honestly... it’s not bad. I could drink this. I could drink this when I’m not dying of heartburn, even.
I’m not sure why this is pushing the three MINT aspect because it’s so damn subtle that I - as a mint hater - really like this?
It certainly wouldn’t be my go-to tea, but right now, when everything else is causing me more pain than I can cope with, this is the bomb.
Gets cold fucking fast though cause you have to wait 15 MINUTES to make it.
