WHY DO YOU GUYS LIKE TAP IT ON
Transcript
Why do you guys, like, tap it on there a few times before you say it? Great question. So when you tap it on there, you're actually rupturing the cell walls of the mint leaves, which helps release the aromatic compounds and essential oils locked inside. You don't want to actually crush it. That would activate the chlorophyll and make it taste more bitter and grassy. So the little tap, it just kind of wakes it up no that when someone goes for a sip, it hits their nose before it even touches their tongue. Aroma is like 80% of what we perceive as flavor. So give it a little tap and then stick it in.
