Tea Forté: Belgian Mint and Coco Truffle
Taking time to explore more herbal “teas”…
I love tea and it’s really hard for me to drink anything that doesn’t actually contain Camellia sinensis. I know a lot of you enjoy tisanes (herbal teas), and I’d like to share a couple with you. Coco Truffle: cacao, cinnamon, fennel, licorice root, cardamom, ginger, cloves, black pepper. Belgian Mint: cacao, peppermint. Both selections were very enjoyable. Cacao seems to be a common theme that tea companies are using/promoting more frequently these days. In addition to adding a chocolate-like flavor, the cacao adds more body to the traditional herbal blend.
The Coco Truffle was excellent. It has a lot of class and elegance that makes it a premium dessert beverage. The flavors were smooth and balanced. The scent was divine. As you can see from its ingredients listing that there are a lot of dominant flavors in the mix. Tea Forté managed to pull it all together. I could sip this all night long. It’s difficult not to relax when you are drinking this herbal.
The Belgian Mint is not quite as complex as the Coco Truffle, but it’s lack of ingredients should not be considered a weakness. It’s strength is in the power of its two ingredients – peppermint and cacao. Peppermint is probably my favorite herbal ingredient. So this one was perfect for me. The cacao and peppermint combine to create a refreshing and replenishing beverage. This is a great herbal to drink when you want to freshen your breath after a meal. Plus the peppermint will help you digest your food. Both herbal blends are naturally decaffeinated.
