Name:\u00a0 Casablanca Twist<\/a><\/p>\n

Type:\u00a0 Green<\/p>\n

Region:\u00a0 Darjeeling, India<\/p>\n

Bought At:\u00a0 Adagio<\/a><\/p>\n

Price:\u00a0 $3 for a 10 cup sample<\/p>\n

First Impressions:\u00a0 Minty aroma<\/p>\n

Review:<\/p>\n

My second tea this month is a green from adagio: Casablanca Twist.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t really know anything about this tea before I tried it, and was surprised by its minty flavor.\u00a0 It has a very smooth, light green tea feeling to it and by far the biggest taste you get is that of mint \u2013 peppermint to be exact.\u00a0 I learned it is a \u201ctwist\u201d (pun intended) on the older Moroccan Mint which uses gunpowder instead of Darjeeling as the base.\u00a0 I would be interested to try Moroccan to see the difference between the two.\u00a0 It isn\u2019t overpowering like some mint herbal teas, just a cool feeling after you have taken a sip.\u00a0 Overall it was pretty good, definitely refreshing.\u00a0 It would probably make an interesting iced tea. While it was a good mint tea, mint really isn\u2019t my favorite; but others who enjoy mint more might like it better.<\/p>\n
