TAZO Refresh Mint Herbal Tea

This is a bold, complex mint experience—not your one-note peppermint tea. You'll get rich peppermint and spearmint upfront, but the real magic is the tarragon, which adds an earthy depth without any licorice flavor. Reviewers consistently mention how refreshing and strong it is, with a fresh aroma that fills the room. It's smooth and never bitter, even if you steep it longer than recommended.

Actually, it works beautifully for both! Beginners love that it's super forgiving—just drop a tea bag in hot water and you'll get consistent, delicious results every time. The familiar mint taste makes it approachable. But tea enthusiasts appreciate the complexity of the mint blend and use it as an excellent base for their own blending experiments, mixing it with other flavors to create custom brews.

It's incredibly versatile! That bold, refreshing mint profile works beautifully both hot and iced. Several reviewers specifically mention using it for mixing with other tea flavors, and the strong mint character holds up well when chilled. The fresh, cooling nature of the blend actually makes it a natural choice for iced preparations on warm days.

Correct, this is a pure herbal tea with no caffeine, which actually caused some confusion for shoppers who saw it mislabeled as 'mint green tea' in some marketplace listings. It's 100% herbal—just peppermint, spearmint, and tarragon. Perfect for evening drinking or if you're avoiding caffeine but still want bold, satisfying flavor.

This is worth addressing honestly: a couple of reviewers mentioned it's on the expensive side for just 20 tea bags. However, many feel the quality justifies the cost—the flavor is notably richer and more complex than budget mint teas, and that strong, fresh character means you're getting a premium mint experience. If you're comparing it to basic supermarket mint tea, yes, it costs more. If you're comparing it to specialty tea shop prices, it's actually quite reasonable.

Great question, because tarragon can be polarizing! In this blend, the tarragon adds a subtle earthy depth and complexity to the mint without creating a licorice flavor. Reviewers specifically call out that it deepens the mint profile rather than competing with it. You get that rich, multi-layered mint taste instead of the flat, one-dimensional flavor you'd find in basic peppermint tea.
