Sadaf Special Blend Tea with Cardamom Flavor, 50 Tea Bags

From my limited memory, this is likely my first go at drinking tea with cardamom in it. I usually drink early grey and if not that then the various Chinese teas. I've been interested for a while now in why middle eastern people always seem to be drinking tea from see-through glass cups. It fascinated me. My quick research on Amazon directed me to Sadaf tea. I'm a bit shocked at first because I had no idea it would have a menthol/peppermint taste and smell to it! The tea bags are individually wrapped in plastic and I have to tear them open to get to the tea bag. It does have a good amount of tea. At first, I brewed about a 9-10oz cup. The best way I can describe the taste for those who have never tried it is while you can taste and smell the menthol, there is also an earthy/grassy aftertaste. And no, I haven't eaten grass before but that's the only way I can describe it. I have no idea if this is normal. I was about to give this a 3 stars review but upon drinking a second and third cup, I actually got used to it and so I believe this deserves at least a 4-star. The tea is strong as well. I brewed a 14oz cup and the taste did not seem watered down at all.

Love this tea.

I first discovered cardamom tea several years ago when a co-worker brought some into the office, and I instantly fell in love with the warm, aromatic flavor. After searching for something that matched that experience, I found Sadaf Cardamom Tea. It has been a staple in my kitchen ever since. Now, my day doesn’t feel complete without a cup in the morning. The flavor is perfectly balanced: fragrant, slightly spicy, and incredibly comforting. It’s a simple ritual that makes my mornings feel a little more special and grounded.

These tea bags make the best tea! I’m adding vanilla almond creamer making London Fog after dinner. So fabulously comforting in winter! I love cardamom tea!

We visited a Persian Restaurant and had this tea for dinner one night and thought "We've just got to find out where to get SADAF CARDAMOM tea. And, Lo and Behold, there it is on AMZ! So we sprung for a box of it (and a couple more times) to keep that absolutely exquisite flavor available to us all the time among hour hundreds of flavors of tea. -- And no, we're not a restaurant; we are just a small family with a real penchant for having every imaginable flavor of tea available whenever a guest is over. Goes something like this: - "Would you like some tea?" - "Sure, what flavors or kinds do you have?" - "Well, probably just about anything you can imagine. What flavor would most PLEASE you right now?" And we almost always have exactly what they requested... from any kind of black, green, white, herbal, or special blends like ginger, chais and ginseng. So now... we have yet another flavor: SADAF CARDAMOM! Wonderful!
