Traditional Medicinals - Organic Spearmint Tea - Aromatic and Sweet - 16 Tea Bags

Traditional Medicinals Organic Spearmint Tea is aromatic and sweetly minty. While spearmint is widely used as a refreshing beverage, it makes Traditional Medicinals Organic Spearmint Tea - Aromatic and Sweet lively, lovely and delightful. People like to think of spearmint as the fun-loving, slightly less intense cousin of peppermint. In fact, spearmint and peppermint are so closely related, and look so much alike, they’re often confused for one another. Spearmint leaves are much milder in effect than peppermint and are used mainly as a great tasting beverage tea and as a culinary herb. Also, spearmint does not produce a cooling sensation like peppermint does, leaving children often to find it to be more pleasant. Soft and sweet, with that characteristic minty zing, spearmint is so named because of its pointy, spear-like leaves. People love Organic Spearmint Tea Aromatic and Sweet for its distinctly spearminty, mildly sweet flavor. Spearmint is a perennial herb that is grown in temperate climates worldwide. The leaves are harvested when its pale purple flowers come into bloom from July to September. Most spearmint leaf is distilled to make essential oil and a small amount is dried for use as tea. Traditional Medicinals select high oil spearmint leaf that meets pharmacopoeial medicinal grade herb standards.
