Organic Peppermint Leaf Tea (caffeine-free)
Peppermint is the third most popular botanical flavor in the world next to lemon and orange and has been drunk as a herbal tea for centuries. Pure peppermint leaf tea is a soothing tea that can be brewed to drink as a hot tea or a cooling iced tea.
Traditionally, peppermint has been valued for a wide range of health benefits. So much so in England that the term taking "The Peppermint Cure" reflected the widespread practice of drinking peppermint tea at the first sign of a cold or illness. Menthol in the peppermint leaf helps with nasal and chest congestion both in drinking the tea and inhaling the steam rising from the cup. The menthol also gives peppermint tea an anesthetic effect on the stomach calming feelings of nausea.*
Enjoy this tea anytime of the day as a refreshing drink without any caffeine. It is also a versatile flavor that blends well with other botanical flavors. Enjoy this organically grown tea as part of your healthy lifestyle.
