    I can’t second this, fresh my peppermint tea tastes like peppermint, when I let it steep too long it tastes, let’s say, leafy and more like spearmint, and leaves a feeling in my mouth like I’ve chewed on rubber. The freshness is gone, I guess the menthol evaporates. I take two bags, and let it steep for no more than 5 minutes.

    I hope my descriptions make sense, taste is hard to describe!

      That’s fair, I like that spearmint taste and am not sure I’ve ever noticed that mouth feel.

      I guess YMMV
