Northwest Mint

Organic Mint Tea: Peppermint and Spearmint, Hand-Blended in Oregon Northwest Mint is an organic peppermint and spearmint tea that delivers the cleanest, most refreshing cup in our lineup. We blend two varieties of mint for a reason: peppermint (Mentha x piperita) brings the cooling menthol punch that opens your sinuses and clears your head, while spearmint (Mentha spicata) rounds it out with a natural candy-like sweetness that makes the whole cup feel like a treat. The Pacific Northwest produces some of the highest-quality mint in the world, thanks to volcanic soils and cool nights that concentrate essential oils in the leaves. Why Two Mints Are Better Than One Most mint teas are one-note. They hit you with peppermint and call it a day. We took a different approach. By combining both species, you get a cup that starts cool and sharp on the inhale, softens into a gentle sweetness on the palate, and finishes with a tingle that lasts. Peppermint contains roughly 40% menthol; spearmint contains almost none, relying instead on carvone for its softer, sweeter character. The contrast between these two compounds is what makes this blend feel complete rather than one-dimensional. Certified USDA Organic ingredients and hand-blended in our Salem, Oregon kitchen, every scoop is exactly what loose leaf mint tea should be. Brew it hot after dinner to settle your stomach, pour it over ice on a warm afternoon, or steep it while you work for a caffeine-free pick-me-up that resets your focus without the jitters. This is the mint tea we keep coming back to, day after day.
