Pukka – Three Mint
Pukka’s Three Mint tea is a herbal concoction. So you know right from the off that this is not going to be a review crammed full of ringing endorsements and giddy excitement. None the less, I feel duty bound to review it because my box of minty teabags is almost finished and if you don’t photograph and write about a tea before you fling the packaging into the recycling, does it even exist? (Well, yes. Obviously, it exists. You can buy it in supermarkets and stuff.)
The three mints of Three Mint tea are peppermint, spearmint and fieldmint. Pukka call it a “verdant infusion”. Steady on, chaps. Let’s not get carried away. It’s the standard minty, cabbage-y, compost heap-y flavour that one expects from peppermint tea. Although, I’m sure the spearmint and fieldmint are doing something there as well.
“So why,” you may be asking, “if you have nothing good to say about this tea, are you 18 teabags through a 20 teabag box?” Well because despite its not-at-all-like-tea nature, mint tea is terribly good at digestion-related business. And being a speed-eating glutton, I sometimes feel the need for a bit of herbal remedying.
I didn’t get through these teabags all on my own either. They were a big hit with the family at Christmas. And Lunar New Year. I don’t know what it is, but for some reason being plied with a ridiculous amount of tasty food, makes my lunch guests crave a bit of peppermint afterwards in order to relieve that python-digesting-a-deer feeling.
Post Christmas-dinner, everyone was on the Three Mint chez Tea Fancier. While simultaneously passing around the Quality Street because it was Christmas after all.
So, thanks for everything, Pukka Three Mint. You served us well.
