Today’s tea is Great Value Peppermint Tea, which is not a tea. It’s a tisane.

I was looking forward to a dark tea. But due to an “experiment”, I overcaffeinated myself.

So I’ll be honest. Peppermint is not something I typically drink, nor am I looking forward to this. It’s my wife’s favourite tisane, which is why we have it.

But it’s something in my pantry that I haven’t drank yet. And more importantly, it contains no caffeine.

Given that this is from a discount supermarket brand, expectations are low. Actually, it’s been in my pantry for awhile so this isn’t exactly fresh either.

Brewing from a teabag in a mug. I’ll be steeping this with boiled water for two minutes.

If I end up hating this, I have no one to blame except myself.
