Product Story & Origin
The Most Universally Loved Herbal Tea in the World Pure and Organic
Peppermint (Mentha x piperita) is a natural hybrid of watermint and spearmint and it has been one of humanity's most cherished medicinal and culinary herbs for over three thousand years. Ancient Egyptians placed dried peppermint in their tombs. Greek and Roman physicians prescribed it for digestive ailments. Medieval European herbalists used it for everything from headaches to nausea to bad breath. Today, peppermint is the most widely consumed herbal tea in the world and for very good reason.
At Palm Beach Teas, we offer peppermint in its purest, most honest form: organic peppermint leaf, loose leaf, nothing else. No fillers, no blending, no compromise.

Pro Tips Get the Most from Your Peppermint Tea
• Use a covered mug or teapot while steeping to trap the menthol vapors they evaporate quickly and are responsible for much of the health benefit and aroma.
• Before drinking, hold the cup under your nose and inhale deeply peppermint aromatherapy is as beneficial as drinking the tea itself.
• For iced peppermint tea: brew double-strength, cool completely, pour over ice. Add fresh mint leaves and lemon for a stunning cold brew peppermint lemonade.
• Add a spoonful of raw honey to balance peppermint's intensity and add antimicrobial properties.
• For digestive support: drink one cup 20–30 minutes after a meal to settle the stomach, reduce bloating, and support digestion.
• Re-steep once for a lighter, more subtle second cup perfect if the first steep is too intense.
