The silken pyramids actually make a difference—you can see the whole peppermint leaves steeping instead of dusty bits floating around. The menthol hit is strong and clean, and it stays refreshing even after a second steep.
I was expecting a regular mint tea, but the whole peppermint leaves in these pyramids give off a much fresher, almost cooling sensation with every sip. The silken mesh really does seem to let the menthol oils come through slowly instead of all at once.
The whole peppermint leaves inside give off a much sharper, cleaner menthol hit than the dusty tea bags I used to buy. Steeping one pyramid for about four minutes made a genuinely invigorating cup that cleared my head on a slow morning.
