Peppermint is one of the most renowned medicinal herbs worldwide, celebrated for its refreshing aroma and numerous health benefits. The leaves are rich in essential oils and have traditionally been used in herbal teas to soothe the stomach and aid digestion. Its cooling freshness makes peppermint a favoured ingredient in both natural remedies and culinary creations.
Cultivation
The peppermint leaves for this tea are sourced from sustainably managed fields in Austria. The plants are carefully tended and hand-picked to ensure only the largest and finest leaves make it into the tea. A slow and gentle drying process preserves the valuable essential oils, giving this tea its distinctive freshness and full-bodied aroma.
Effects
Peppermint is well-known for its cooling, calming, and antispasmodic properties. The menthol in the leaves provides a soothing effect on the respiratory system and the digestive tract. Peppermint tea is often used to relieve headaches, ease nausea, and support digestion. Additionally, peppermint can relax the muscles of the gastrointestinal tract, reducing bloating and feelings of fullness, contributing to overall well-being.
How to enjoy
This peppermint tea is perfect after a meal to aid digestion or as a refreshing drink on a hot day. It pairs wonderfully with light, fresh dishes such as a citrus-dressed salad or sweet treats like chocolate mint brownies and lemon balm biscuits. A dash of honey or a squeeze of fresh lemon can further enhance the flavour experience.
