Description: Spearmint is well known for its digestive properties and its ability to relieve nausea, especially due to motion sickness. It is also used to find relief from headaches and tension and Inhaling the steam from a double strength infusion can help relieve nasal congestion. Mint tea can also be used in compresses to soothe itching and inflammation. Mint is a traditional drink in North Africa and the Middle East and is always served to welcome friends, family or visitors from afar.
In an early Greek myth, Persephone, the Queen of the underworld, became angry at her husband's wandering eye, especially when Hades noticed a young nymph named Minthe. One day, in a fit of jealousy, she turned the lovely woman into mint. Armed with this story, Hippocrates warned men to use mint cautiously.
Serving Suggestion: For iced drinks either cold brew overnight or brew as for hot but use more tea leaves to make a more intense flavour.

A Subtle Tea Verified Purchase
Having enjoyed the Peppermint Tea from tea-enthusiasts.com, I was eager to explore another minty delight from their collection - the Spearmint Tea. While my preference leans towards peppermint, I found the Spearmint Tea to be a pleasant and subtly refreshing choice.
Just like its counterpart, the Spearmint Tea showcased the same exceptional quality in terms of freshness and presentation. The spearmint leaves were of premium quality, evident from the moment I opened the package. The aroma was distinctly minty but more delicate compared to peppermint.
Brewing the Spearmint Tea yielded a light golden infusion with a softer mint fragrance. The taste was indeed milder and less intense than peppermint, which could be appealing for those who prefer a gentler mint experience. While I personally enjoy a bolder mint flavor, I found the spearmint tea to be soothing and easy to drink.
In terms of health benefits, spearmint tea shares similar qualities with peppermint, known for its digestive properties and overall calming effect. It's a wonderful alternative for those seeking a milder mint experience without compromising on quality.
Overall, while I personally prefer the boldness of peppermint, I can certainly appreciate the appeal of the Spearmint Tea from tea-enthusiasts.com. Its gentle flavor, coupled with the same exceptional quality standards upheld by this tea provider, makes it a worthy addition to any tea collection. If you're looking for a lighter, more delicate mint tea option, I would recommend giving the Spearmint Tea a try.
