 Welcome back to the tea of the day. I've got my special cozy on today because it's extra hot at the moment See if I can handle it yet. Nope too hot still. Whoo. That might affect the taste a little bit may have to let it cool down a touch Nah, let's drink it So today I've got one. I'm really excited about this is fresh chocolate mint Now I tried to grow this myself and the darn bugs just kept eating the seeds and it didn't happen So I saw it at the market and I said, oh my gosh, I'm going to buy that It's ready to go and it was actually so tall as it needed to be harvested. So here it is It's my first taste. I've never actually tried it before. So I'm just like, oh, yeah Let's get the expa expectations down because I don't want to like, you know Try it and it's gonna be fantastic, but I'm not it's not gonna live up to my expectations So I'm gonna think no, you know, whatever. I don't get chocolate mint. I don't care You can't let's drink They smell a little blow Yeah, the heat really affects it. It doesn't need to cool down. Let's give it a minute I guess I was just a little too excited. It was so darn hot. It was like scorching the roof of my mouth But I guess while it's cooling down, let's talk about a few other things chocolate mint tea specifically is supposed to be good for IBS it's supposed to actually help with if Women are having pain while breastfeeding. It's also supposed to be good for cold symptoms Of course mint. It's good for bad breath and good for digestive problems It's also supposed to help with various cold symptoms. And of course, it's good for brain function So very similar to other ones except for these interesting Variations with the IBS and the breastfeeding pain and such. So yeah, chocolate mint It's got some really cool and interesting Ways that it can help you out. I think we're ready to go. Maybe I hope so Maybe because it's still too hot I'm getting much more of the minty-ness which is awesome. I'm not getting much chocolatey-ness yet. I Can kind of smell it and kind of feel a little bit on the back end Yeah, but compared to other mints Which have that very much lighter effervescence With the true minty feel this one is a it doesn't quite have that Puppy mint you kind of feel I think it's because of the chocolate aspect But kind of get a little bit on the back end I think I want to try it again with a few extra leaves in here to see if it can make a little bit stronger Or try to brew it a little bit longer I think I just might have rushed it because the fact that it was so hot I just wanted to get to it too fast. I probably should have let it have a couple more minutes Given the color though, I kind of figured maybe it was ready and but yeah, maybe you needed more like eight to ten minutes or something I went only around five on this one But yeah, I'm liking the taste the more I get it a few tastes in the more a really noticing the flavor of it What's interesting for me? I'm not overtly getting like chocolate. I'm getting like more of a darker Essence not an earthier essence, but it has like the Echo of chocolate if that as it were it's not like boom you're tasting it. That's definitely chocolate, but It's a nice derivative thereof. Yeah, I really like it still this is a nice one I think you can't drink it by itself any mint as far as I'm concerned you can drink by itself No problem They they're all strong enough and they all have enough of a flavor that can handle this being alone Yeah, I'm sold on it I definitely want to try it again and see if I can make it a little bit stronger and see if that's going to affect How I feel about it, but otherwise darn good tea till next time Take care of each other and have a nice tea day
