Peppermint

Description

Peppermint produces one of our favorite herbal cups: bold and lively, with no caffeine. Meanwhile, it can have a soothing effect on the body. Some drink this botanical tea to help relieve gas, stomach cramping/pain, and diarrhea, while others say it can alleviate asthma, breathing problems, and soothe morning sickness and nausea. Explore all the potential health benefits. Many consider peppermint the quintessential herbal tea, or tisane (botanical infusion). Enjoy it straight for the most potent cup, or add a spoonful of Montana Honey for a lovely and aromatic treat!

Did you know that peppermint is a hybrid species, a combination of spearmint and watermint? The plant originates from Europe and the Middle East, though it now grows all over the world. Most of the peppermint grown in the US comes from Washington and Oregon. The high menthol content gives peppermint tea its cooling, refreshing quality.

Peppermint is a primary ingredient in several Lake Missoula Tea blends: A Few of My Favorite Things, Easy Does It Elderberry Mint, Licorice Mint, Chocolate Mint Puerh, Cup of Good Hope, and Moroccan Mint. Also, check out our full list of peppermint teas.
