New Tea Lover's Treasury
By James Norwood Pratt

Publisher: Publishing Technology Associates (1999)
Language: English

This is primarily a book on the story of tea. The history is fascinating and invaluable to the avid tea drinker. More than half the book Pratt dedicates to tea history.  Following this, the author describes the various teas throughout the world. This is more than just a list, but a detailed look at the regions that produce them, the technique and conditions that impart their unique characteristics. Part three concludes with the author's own advice on tea preparation, and a concise but adequate discourse on tea ritual. After reading this book my respect and adoration for tea skyrocketed. That alone makes this book priceless.

Green Tea Mints

    These mints all look like the shape of a leaf.  You can suck on them in your mouth, or you can suck on them and then start chewing the mints.  They are all a little thick in appearance.  On the mint, there is an imprint of a leaf.  Three of these Green Tea mints all add up to a whole serving of Green Tea itself.
    There are three different flavors of Green Tea Mints: Original, Delicate Pear, and Lemongrass.  They help freshen your breath, and feel cool in your mouth.  The mints are hard, so you should suck on them.  Delicate Pear and Original both taste sweet.
    However, Delicate Pear, Lemongrass, and Original have different characteristics.  Delicate Pear tasted warm and like cinnamon.  Original tasted like mint ice cream.  Lemongrass just tasted like a solid version of lemongrass.  The mints have different colors according to their flavors.

Original: This mint tastes flavorless and plain at first, but after you chew it, the powdery inside is sugary and sweet, even though it’s completely sugar free. It’s also caffeine free, and three of these mints have the same health effects as one cup of tea. The tea mints are also fair trade approved, meaning that they support equity in international trading. To hopefully destroy whatever worry you might have left about this organic tea mint, the mint helps to naturally inhibit the root causes of bad breath. The mints are shaped just like tea leaves.

$4.50

Delicate Pear: This mint smells somewhat like sap, honey, and syrup all combined, but tastes a little bit like pear extract, but overall, plain. Just like the original flavored mint, the powdery inside is sweet and sugary, even though it too, is sugar free. The mint is shaped like a leaf, just like the other two flavors of tea mints. It also grants the same health effects as one cup of tea after three mints. All the mints aid in naturally inhibiting the root causes of bad breath.

$4.50

Lively Lemongrass: These lovely pale colored, leaf shaped, mints smell like sour sap, honey, and syrup mixed together almost exactly the same as the other two flavored tea mints. It is also sugar free, caffeine free, helps with bad breath, and contains the health benefits of one cup of tea after consuming only three mints. The following ingredients are in this flavored mint: Blend~ Organic Green Tea Extract, Organic Lemongrass, Fresh Ginger Root, Natural Flavors, Lo Han Guo. The other ingredients are Sorbitol, Xylitol, and Calcium Stearate. They are all Green Tea Mints.
