9.5/10
Generally, I've found that tea bags, even many of the ones that use loose leaf tea (or as close to loose leaf as you can get in a tea bag) tend to be lacking in both the originality and flavor departments, which is why Zhena's Gypsy Tea caught my eye: many of their blends, all tea bags, are flavors I've never seen before from any other tea company. And the best part? They're actually good.Mojito Mint is a perfect example. It could have easily turned out to be a simple mint or mint and lime blend. Instead, it's mint and lime and rum flavoring. Now that's something you don't see everyday in tea. It's also really good. The tea bag smells like your average mint blend, but a quick steep later and you've got a wonderfully complex mint and citrus blend with a light rum flavor (it definitely helps that I am a huge fan of rum ;) ). And all of that from a tea bag.
Bottom Line: Any fan of mint will find something to like in this one, and all with the convenience of a tea bag. What's not to like? Definitely going on my must-buy list.

This has also gone on my ‘must-buy’ list. It sounds really good! The packaging of the tea canister is even attractive. Thanks for the review!
