The second tea I picked up on our road trip was Appalachian Mint, again from Smoke Camp Crafts.
Per the packaging, this tea contains mint, persimmon, strawberry, sassafras leaves and sumac berries. I purchased 3/4 oz for $3.50.
On first sniff, all I really got was sweet mint, which was fine by me. The tea was tasty, again very mild despite using a generous amount. I think with these teas you probably want to use extra if you’re looking for a more potent brew.
Sumac Berry… as in Poison Sumac??? I do love a minty tea though!
That’s what I thought too, but apparently certain parts of the plant are ok!
🙂 Well at least I wasn’t alone in that train of thought then! I guess it must be OK if they’re packaging it for the masses to consume.
