Mint notes in my gunpowder tea

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.
