Best iced tea!!, June 30, 2010
This review is from: Bigelow Plantation Mint Tea, 20-Count Boxes (Pack of 6) (Grocery)
I use the Plantation Mint to make sun tea. It is so refreshing to have it iced after working in the yard in the hot sun. I love that their teas are individually in foil packets so it stays fresh. This is a great price, too. I didn't realize I could buy it here, and definitely will next time. Enjoy!!

Less a tea, more a remedy, May 10, 2010
This review is from: Bigelow Plantation Mint Tea, 20-Count Boxes (Pack of 6) (Grocery)
Bigelow's Plantation Mint isn't just a tea. The moment you toss the bag in water and start to smell that intense aroma of fresh mint, you'll realize you've gotten not only a tea but an aromatherapy kit that'll have your whole house asking for their own cup.
The tea itself is wonderful. You might not expect tea and mint to go this together, but they really do. The overall flavor that you get is a wonderful mouthful of mint flavor with just enough bitter tea to make it go down smooth. It really is a fantastic experience.
If I had to come up with a downside, I'd say that the flavor is just a touch too syrupy. Anyone who's actually used fresh mint before will likely recognize this tea for what it is- an (excellent) mint syrup drizzled (deliciously) into a cup of tea. Basically, this is a really good approximation of mint infused tea, about as good as you could possibly expect from a bagged tea. For a product this wonderful you can't help but wonder what it would be like to have real leaves and brew them yourself. However, that's the trade-off you make for just being able to toss a bag in water and get your tea quickly. And having a tin of fresh leaves in this mix, you'd probably use it for the smell long before you considered drinking it anyway.
In the end, this has instantly become my very favorite comfort tea. Especially if you're feeling a little under the weather, the smell solves a stuffy nose in no time. Definitely get a box and try this- maybe two boxes if you have other tea drinkers in the family, since they'll likely steal the first box for themselves.

The Mainstay of My Day, April 15, 2011
This review is from: Bigelow Plantation Mint Tea, 20-Count Boxes (Pack of 6) (Grocery)
Every day, whatever the season, I have to have my pot of Plantation Mint tea. Finding it had become a problem, though. The one store that sells it for $2.19 a box seldom has it on the shelf, and the other store that carries it regularly sells it for $2.99 a box! Living in a rural area (a national forest, actually) a long ways from the nearest large town that has more than the two groceries in the closest small town, I've had to depend on just these two stores, getting frustrated with either not finding the tea or paying an exorbitant price. BUT, now that I've found it here and can have it delivered at regular intervals, no shipping charges, and at a savings over the store prices, I'm ecstatic. No more running from store to store and hoping, no more getting strange looks when I stand in the coffee/tea aisle and cuss because the shelf is empty, no more wondering what I'm going to drink to feel good when the Bigelow box is empty. My favorite tea now comes right to my mailbox, reasonably priced and automatically...like magic! Life is good!
