Tea #11 - Jessie's Tea

Jessie's Tea - DAVIDsTEA







Smell Vs Taste:  3.5

Smell: 4

Taste: 3.5 
 
Look: 4.5

The name Jessie's Tea isn't very descriptive, so when we picked this as our tea of the day, I honestly had no idea what we were in for.  It's definitely a pretty tea, a rooibos with lavender, cornflowers, and coconut bits.  When I first smelled it, the strongest smell to me was the coconut, then a slight lavender smell, and even a bit of a mintiness.  Steeped, the smell changes so the mint smells stronger than the coconut-- which is interesting, considering there isn't any mint in this tea.  I could taste the coconut again once the tea steeped... and also the ghost mint... which isn't there.  I like this tea, it has kind of a delicate flavor which is nice.  But, i'm still not convinced there isn't mint in it.
