Love that teapot

Hi Guys, I often look at this thread and enjoy your pic's and banter, but only posted once. Perhaps you fella's can point me in the direction of a good mint tea. I had some when I was in the Middle East in a glass like yours Nightblade and it really hit the spot. I have tried the teabags but there cr**p in a word. Any thought welcome.
Have a great day fella's.

I get my organic peppermint tea in bulk from the health food shop. I guess I could always send you some?

Here you are Stevie....I bought my plates and glasses from here and here are some reliable sites for Persian teas including mint. Cheers ! Oh and also......I have both a russian tea glass(Podstakknik) My Persian handled and non handled. I can't go back to Fine China anymore no lie.) Glass is class !

Instead of Mint tea, use dried or fresh mint leaves added to your Black or Green tea. You'll probably be more satisfied. Tea - Tea Accessories

Thanks mate, I think I will try the green tea method.

Sine you mentioned the middle East, I know that it is common there to mix chinese gunpowder tea with fresh mint leaves and just make it like that. Sweeten to taste.Gunpowder tea is a green tea, inexpencive and not hard to find. Best of luck. Oh, when you make it, a picture post here would not go amiss

Sitting here with another pot of Iron Goddess Oolong,a sore irritated ear and on page 65 of the threads backlog...........wooooow ! Nice to read posts from old friends alive and passed on as well. We've come along way here lads ! You guys are awesome !
