Does it taste really "tea-ey"...like plants? Or like chocolate and mint?

Chocolate and mint. Add cream to make it more chocolate and minty. add honey to make it taste like hot sweet chocolate mint heaven. It does not taste - at all - like a Lipton tea.

What are the dimensions of the tin itself (not ounces of tea)?

It is a very nice size, rounding up a little to approximately 3" x 3" x 4" high. 2 & 15/16" x 2 & 15/16" by 3 & 13/16" high to be exact.

Please could you tell me how much loose tea do you need to make a mug of tea? or how many mugs does 4 oz of tea make. thanks

If you are referring to this particular tea, PARIS, a 4 oz tin makes 30-40 cups. Mugs are different sizes as well so I would say 30. By the cup, you would use a teaspoon. When made by the “pot” the saying is an extra teaspoon for the pot. Different teas yield different cup amounts too as well as personal preference to weak or stronger flavor of their tea.

What are the dimensions of the tin itself (not ounces of tea)?

The tin is approx. 3 1/2 wide X 3 1/2 deep X 4 3/4 tall
