I like strong tea, especially mint tea. If you want this teat to be strong, you have to steep it for long time. I tried normal steep time which is about 5 minutes and it wasn't particularly strong. It is still very tasty and minty. Then tried a longer steep, 10-15 minutes and it was definitely stronger but more on the green tea side than the mint side. If you want a mild mint tea, this is the one. I will buy again. Full Leaf Tea Co. is a great tea supplier. I recommend them any time people ask me where I get my loose leaf teas from.
