iomchris Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 The Peppermint Herbal Tea here: http://thebrightteaco.com/our-teas/herbal-infusions.aspx Sorry for what is undoubtedly a stupid question, but I am not a tea-drinker and want to be sure I'm not missing a reason this must be avoided?

SummerGirl Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 The ingredients are listed as just peppermint leaves so that looks absolutely fine to me. Some herbal infusions have added sweetener but that one is just the peppermint leaves so it's fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meg Hamilton Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I don't see a list of ingredients, I don't understand how a tea with only peppermint leaves could give you a subtle chocolate flavor. Either way, just make sure there are no sweeteners mixed in with the tea leaves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I clicked on the peppermint tea pic and scrolled down and it said ingredients were peppermint leaves, nothing else mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derval Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Pure peppermint leaves harvested in America's Pacific Northwest provide bold and clean mint flavors, balanced by subtle notes of chocolate. This medium-bodied herbal infusion is distinguished by its lingering, cool finish. Maybe they know that saying it tastes like chocolate will make any woman buy it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SummerGirl Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 It might be a bit like the way with wine it can be described as having plum or blackcurrant or damson flavours to it but there obviously aren't those things in it. Who knew peppermint could taste chocolatey? Ya learn something new every day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

areldi Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 There is a type of mint plant that has leaves with a mint chocolate smell (it really does, a friend has one) maybe they use those leaves - though I don't know if it tastes chocolatey too: http://www.tastefulgarden.com/store/pc/Mint-Chocolate-2p22.htm Mmm, mint aero....

iomchris Posted August 21, 2012 Author Share Posted August 21, 2012 I don't understand how a tea with only peppermint leaves could give you a subtle chocolate flavor. I know, right? That's why I was worried. Thanks everyone for the feedback. I ended up emailing the company and they confirmed no added sweeteners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
