Hi all,

So I brew up a cup of pinhead gunpowder this morning and the strangest
thing happens. I notice a very subtle but distinct minty flavor. I've
never really noticed it before and am thinking that perhaps my brain is
playing tricks on me. I'll often mix gunpowder with peppermint or
spearmint, but I keep these two teas totally separate to avoid any
cross contamination.

Perhaps this minty note is normal in pinhead gunpowder...perhaps I've
got a couple crossed circuits in my head.

Perhaps it is a question of storage either at reatil or the production
levels. There seem to be a number of places offering "morrocan green
mint" or something similar that is a mix of gunpowder and mint leaves
(tasty stuff). I wonder if it might be possible for the next non-mint
batch to pick up a hint of it anyway

You may have accidently gotten Moroccan mint gunpowder. Several
vendors sell this.
