Twinings' Herbal Infusions - Pure Peppermint

Initial observations:

The liquid inside my big blue mug, or BLUG looks like someone who hasn't drunk water in several days and has only stayed hydrated on orange Gatorade, urinated inside of it.

BLUG in action; stay away from BLUG, Mum!

First thoughts on the first sips:
Lacklustre, weak, and I regret throwing the tea bag after only 5 minutes soaking in the water. I would actually rather be drinking watered down toothpaste because that would give me the peppermint snowstorm I pictured hailing down upon my tongue. Out of all the teas I currently have, this one smelled the best, but has been my first misstep; I assume the first of many more daily tea-related mistakes I have dedicated myself to making over the next month or so.


Many sips later:
God, you think after it cools down a bit it might get better, but tea is really a drink best served hot, and even then I’m not really having much fun.


Modifications:
I added peppermint Mentos, didn’t help much, so I begrudgingly ate the tea-soaked Mentos and quickly chased the feeble Twinings Pure Peppermint with a glass of Eggnog. Merry. Fucking. Christmas.


Recommendation: 
DO NOT BUY. If you are really dying for a quick blast of mint in your mouth, don’t buy Twinings Herbal Infusions - Pure Peppermint, just reach under your seat in a public place and pull out the first bit of dried chewing gum you find. Then pop it in your mouth, chew, rinse and put it right back. After all, it’s a public service not utilised enough these days, and I hear Singapore don't even offer it.
