Description

Dried spearmint leaves to make a minty, refreshing drink that is highly satisfying both hot and cold. A native of the Mediterranean, spearmint was revered by ancient Romans for its ability to 'stir up the mind.' It continues to be savored for its refreshingly light aroma, as well as its natural, caffeine-free taste. If you have yet to try gourmet spearmint, you'll be pleasantly surprised by its superior flavor.

Story

Spearmint is an aromatic herb of the mint family, the common garden mint widely used for culinary purposes. It has lax, tapering spikes of flowers similar to peppermint flowers and sharply serrated leaves that are used fresh or dried to flavor many foods. The aroma and taste of spearmint are similar to those of peppermint but less strong. Native to Europe and Asia, spearmint has been naturalized in North America.

"One of my favorites late at night. It has a wonderful before and after taste. We enjoy this tea later at night, after one of those really stressful days."

"This was a little strong for me. Use only a small amount if you get it for blending or it will overwhelm the other flavors."

"I've tried Spearmint by itself. Its an acquired taste. However, its strength is as a flavor enhancer to other teas. As the old commercials used to say, just a dab will do you. Don't overdo it."

"I am not the biggest fan of mint teas, but I prefer this mint to the peppermint. It is a bit milder, and has a less harsh bite to it."
