Description: Have you ever stopped to enjoy the cool quiet of an old cemetery on a fall evening? Ever stayed to watch the evening mist roll in? Maybe stayed overnight on a dare and found yourself waking in the wet grass to the vision of sunlight slipping through the vanishing mist?
Me either, but that’s kind of what this tea reminds me of.
Part Chinese sencha, part Yun Wu (Cloud Mist), with marshmallow root, spearmint and natural marshmallow, spearmint and a hint of malt flavors, this is a smooth, silky experience with the sweet pique of spearmint subdued and made ghost-like–subtle, but haunting.
Ingredients: Premium Green Teas, marshmallow root, spearmint, natural flavors.

Dry Leaf Smell: mint

Liquor: translucent yellow-green
two co-workers both like it, my mom loves it
I think the aftertaste needs tempering
Post-Steep Additives:
white sugar
more fluffy marshmallow peep-ish if peeps were minty, cuts back on the barmy aftertaste
