Key Characteristics:
Peppermint Influence:
- Flavor Profile: Peppermint is renowned for its sharp, cool, and minty taste that delivers a burst of freshness. It has a slightly sweet and herbaceous quality, with an underlying refreshing and menthol-like coolness that invigorates the senses.
- Aromatic Freshness: The tea’s aroma is crisp and uplifting, with a bright, clean scent that is both energizing and calming, making it ideal for both daytime refreshment and evening relaxation.
Flavor Profile:

- Soothing Aftertaste: The peppermint’s natural menthol properties leave a lingering cool sensation in the mouth, providing a refreshing finish that can calm the body and mind, perfect for unwinding after a long day or helping with digestion.
Brewing Tips:
- Water Temperature: Brew at 200-212°F (93-100°C), using near-boiling water to fully extract the natural oils from the peppermint leaves, enhancing the flavor and ensuring a crisp, fresh infusion.
- Steeping Time: Let the tea steep for 5-7 minutes. A longer steeping time will intensify the minty flavor, while a shorter brew time will offer a gentler, milder taste.

Serving Suggestions:
- Plain or with Honey: For a pure, fresh experience, enjoy peppermint tea on its own. For added sweetness, you can drizzle in some honey or agave syrup.
