Peppermint Tea
Peppermint tea is made from the leaves of the peppermint plant (Mentha × piperita). It has a distinctive cooling aroma and a strong, refreshing flavour.
Peppermint is commonly enjoyed as a herbal infusion after meals or throughout the day.
Pure peppermint tea is naturally caffeine-free, making it a popular alternative to traditional black or green tea.
Spearmint Tea
Spearmint tea is made from the leaves of the spearmint plant (Mentha spicata). Compared with peppermint, spearmint generally has a gentler, sweeter flavour with less of the intense cooling sensation associated with menthol. Spearmint can be enjoyed on its own or blended with other herbs.
