Apple Mint Cardamom - 52Teas - green tea

One of the marks of a good tea is having a great aroma...an aroma that invites you to taste it.  This week's tea of the week from 52Teas is one of those teas.

I have mentioned before that I often find green teas "grassy" in flavor.  This is not one of those teas.  The green tea in this blend serves as a background for the beautiful blend of apple, mint and cardamom to come alive.  The cardamom is subtle, which is nice, because too much cardamom ends up smelling like a curry house.  The predominant flavors are the apple and the mint, and they blend wonderfully.  It actually gives me ideas for creating tea blends with some of my peppermint teas.

I've also previously mentioned that I like strongly flavored teas, and this, like most green teas, is pretty subtle in flavor, due to the short steeping time.  However, this is a great tea for times when I want a lighter flavor.  I'm very impressed with this one.
