Peppermint Tea Leaf

Peppermint Tea Leaf

Deep green, whole dried peppermint leaves offer an intensely refreshing infusion that exudes an engaging and cleansing menthol aroma, with an invigorating, cooling finish.

 

What's inside & why?


Peppermint tea is a caffeine-free herbal tea that may have several health benefits, including:

Drinking a cup of peppermint tea makes you feel good. When you have a cold, it can help clear your respiratory tract. When you're tired, the mint leaves zingy menthol qualities can reinvigorate you. For centuries, mint tisanes have been used to help ease digestion after a meal – studies have shown that the natural chemicals in peppermint may help relax the intestinal tract and ease the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome. Steeping our dried Peppermint Leaves in hot water helps release those essential oils for maximum effect. Peppermint's muscle-relaxing qualities have also been linked to the relief of headaches and menstrual cramps. And of course, given its widespread use in toothpaste, it will come as no surprise that peppermint has antibacterial properties, so drinking our loose-leaf herbal tea may keep your breath fresher, too (one caveat: if you suffer from acid reflux, heartburn or kidney stones, you may want to avoid peppermint, as it can exacerbate the symptoms).

Origin

Peppermint is favoured for its high menthol content and has been used through the ages for both its functional and culinary qualities. Often cultivated for use as a topical oil,the large, whole leaves also render a deliciously refreshing herbal infusion. We select high quality fresh leaves and slowly dry them to retain their essential oils, creating an invigorating flavour with a remarkably long finish. Did you know, ‘herbal infusion’ is a preferable term to ‘herbal tea’, as tea is an infusion of leaves only from the Camellia sinensis.
