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.
"Very good mint tea, although surprisingly its taste was not that distinct from the peppermint."
"This was a pretty average spearmint tea, imo. I have had comparable spearmint tea that I found at my local grocery store."
"Like pepermint, but with a little bite added. I love it. "
"I opened the bag and the scent nearly slapped me in the face. Delicious! I could spend all day just sniffing it. I add it to Irish Breakfast tea when I'm in the mood for some mint tea - you definitely a strong tea to stand up to this herb! Makes AWESOME mint iced tea."
"The flavor is really good - I think I prefer the peppermint, but I did enjoy it. A little too strong to use without mixing with another tea. "
"Decent by itself, but I've been using it more with other teas, overall I like pepermint a lot more. The spearmint just isn't strong enough for me."
