Peppermint Tea

I hven't been updating much as I've been really busy, but I do drink tea everyday still :D I can do without blogging, but not without tea hee! Today I just wanted to try something new, so chose Lipton's Peppermint Herbal tea. I like Lipton's packaging as it is small, so it doesn't cost too much to just try although I haven't tasted tea that tastes bad yet. Here's what it looks like..

Yup, it's like a neat little box that I can bring to work or something. But I haven't opened it, maybe later. Now I am drinking Lipton's Jasmine tea. Actually my mum bought it on a whim, but she doesn't actually drink tea. She just likes to buy stuff and she thought she would drink it but she didn't. So I told her don't waste it, pass to me. For a teabag it's not too bad, But I still prefer the loose leaf kind.

Anyway here's some info I found about peppermint, taken from http://www.womens-health-symmetry.com/peppermint.html :
