I love this peppermint tea. Just don't steep it too long (5 minutes or even less), otherwise I find too strong of a flavor and slightly bitter. It feels clean and crisp, and pairs well with dark chocolate. I also like doing 1/2 peppermint, 1/2 chamomile. My 5 year old daughter says this tea is yummy! This tea is great after lunch, and aids in digestion. When you're ready to drink, bring one cup of water to 180 F. Use a loose-leaf tea steeper to steep 1 tablespoon of crushed leaves in hot water for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh peppermint leaves, lemon juice, honey or other add-ins of choice.

Pros Loose leaf is sold in a wide range of prices, wider even than bagged tea, but the finest loose leaf teas get extremely pricey. However, there are plenty of affordable options out there, too.

Remember the bit about peppermint tea not being a true tea? ‘Real’ teas like English Breakfast and Earl Grey come from the Camellia Sinensis plant, which contains caffeine. The peppermint plant, however, is caffeine free! The peppermint tea benefits come from the essential oils that transfer into the hot water as it steeps. These healthy essential oils include menthol, menthone and limonene. And they do rather a lot of good… Mint is perhaps my favorite flavor of all time.

Our peppermint tea is easy to enjoy; you can use an infuser with one teaspoon of peppermint tea leaves per pot and then brew to your taste, ideally for 3 to 5 minutes, but this is dependent on how minty you would like your refreshing drink to be. Likewise, add half a teaspoon to an infuser with one of our other herbal tea varieties to make your tisane blend. The general rule of thumb is 1 teaspoon of loose tea for every 6 to 8 ounces of water. However, that doesn't account for the vast differences in size for loose leaf teas. A teaspoon of chai tea, for example, weighs more than a teaspoon of sencha, as the former consists of small pieces and the latter large ones. Instead, the most accurate way to measure tea is by weight, not volume. Usually 2 or 3 grams of tea is the right amount for an 8-ounce cup.
