I rarely purchase Stash Organic Tea.  Their pretty zen-like labels are just not enough to warrant the price tag.  But as an avid tea fan, I was stoked when I spotted two flavors of Stash Organic Tea marked with a huge discontinued tag at the Albertsons just down the road.  For just $1.44 each, I picked up a package of the Organic Breakfast Blend (as I thought: if its black and labeled as breakfast tea, then my husband will drink it) and the Organic Cascade Mint. 

In the past I would never have touched a tea labeled with mint.  I do love chocolate and mint, but tea always sounds weird.  Yet, just a few weeks ago, some spearmint was slipped into a tea I ordered when we were traveling (okay, I just didn’t read the full description before ordering) and it was really good!

Well, let me say that this tea was indeed fantastic.  Warm, soothing, and minty, it was like a wonderful caffeine-free wake-up call in the morning.  I have heard that mint also satiates, so this may be an excellent after-dinner tea as well to prevent further nibbling.  This tea was a nice blend of organic peppermint and organic spearmint leaves, that’s it, not another ingredient.

Needless to say, I headed back to Albertsons to pick up the remaining mint stock!  As for the Breakfast Blend… to my great surprise, my husband said it tasted like mud.  He thought it was terrible, and he is a big black tea drinker.  However, I have noted that none of the Stash brand teas, organic or conventional, have floated his boat. 

Several varieties of Stash Organic Tea (both loose and bags) can be purchased for a good price at Amazon.  I also recommend checking out the Stash Tea website as they seem to host several discounts, specials, and small contests.
