Venturing into the Dragon's Lair: Dragon Mint Tea - An Explosively Spicy Experience

One unforgettable day, a dear friend of ours decided to challenge a dragon in our cozy cottage. Presented with the golden-scaled tin of Dragon Mint Tea, their intrigue was irreversibly piqued. A decision was made, a fate sealed - little did they know they'd summoned a fire-breathing beast of flavor!

Once the tin was open, an intoxicating fusion of scents broke free: potent, spicy chili, soothing licorice, and invigorating mint. The sheer aroma of it was enough to make anyone's senses tingle in an exciting dance of anticipation.

But don't be fooled by the seductive scent, the Dragon Mint Tea is a proverbial Pandora's box. It's one of the boldest and most audacious herbal teas you'll ever come across, packed with large chunks of chili, and a vibrant mix of licorice root, ginger, cardamom, peppermint, and red peppercorns.

And while it's not unusual for our guests to reconsider their choice after their first scent-full encounter, we love playfully encouraging them to go forth with their spicy adventure. The results? Red-eyed guests laughing and gasping, like participants on a tea-fueled episode of 'Hot Ones' or as if they've sampled Chili Klaus' favorite brew!

Be forewarned - Dragon Mint Tea is not for the faint-hearted. It's among the fiercest herbal teas you'll ever encounter.

The beauty of this purely herbal brew lies in its patient preparation - the longer it steeps, the more the flavors intensify. Steep for 8-10 minutes in boiling water at 100°C for the ultimate Dragon Mint experience. For the most daring tea enthusiasts, we recommend leaving the ingredients in the cup - allowing the full force of the dragon to be experienced with each sip.

You too can test your mettle against the Dragon Mint Tea. Available directly from Østerlandsk Thehus on their website:
