From Oregon comes a marvelous, brisk peppermint. The peppermint leaves produce a great smelling and crisp tasting tisane. We find a cup of this can also get a pesky stomach under control in no time.

It has been too freaking hot for hot tea this summer! The air conditioning doesn’t get to my office, where I spend about 10 hours a day, so I haven’t had much hot tea. Right now it is 82 degrees outside, and it is 79 in here. :( I always mean to drink more iced tea, but I … just don’t.
That said, I enjoy a nice peppermint tea in the evenings. I like the convenience of bagged tea for this, and I usually have a box of Twinings or Stash peppermint tea on hand. A friend gave me a tin of this, 30 bags, as a get well gift. It is nothing spectacular, but herbal peppermint tea isn’t, generally, spectacular. This has a nice light flavor that I enjoyed a lot. I look forward to drinking this over the fall and winter (which cannot come soon enough for me!)
I couldn’t remember for sure if I owned this or had just looked at the tins at Chapters. I left the house feeling fine this morning and returned home feeling like a giant cold had hit me incredibly hard. Usually, I feel a cold creeping on….not this time. Scratchy throat, sniffles, blerg, achey, happened in a blink of an eye. What could be the tea for poor old me?
Hunting in the various cupboards – yes! I do have a pretty tin of these sachets! (And, an awful lot of murchies stuff and teavana I had forgotten about – will have to look through that stuff another day). The H&S sachets are so easy, no muss no fuss. I didn’t do anything to this, no added starbucks syrups or any messing around, as I often tend to want to do. This is good stuff. Just clean peppermint, nothing weird or unexpected. Easy to manage and the cool clean mint is soothing for a sore throat and upset tummy. Honestly, I don’t want a cold. Go away cold, I have stuff to do.
Ah, a new addition to the cupboard – and a perfect opportunity for a Steepster review!
I got this more or less on a whim. I was in Barnes & Noble to get some coffee, then I saw the H&S tins and thought, “Hey, I could do with some new tea.” And I’ve been thinking about doing some peppermint tea… I want something for my headaches that doesn’t involve blood-thinning or acetaminophen. Besides, you know, eating and sleeping enough. :P
Whoever came up with tea sachets. I can try to be fancy-pants and time-taking all I want, and there is still something to be said for these things and whoever came up with them needs to be given a hug.
WHOO this is some serious mint. I guess I’m not a peppermint person. This is a tea I would drink for very specific purposes. Medicinal, to be precise.
We’ll see if this does anything for my headache…
And that is my very astute review.
I find that I prefer spearmint in tea over peppermint. There’s something about the latter that becomes really harsh and chemical-like to me if it’s steeped for too long.
(Late as all heck responding to this) I’ll have to look for spearmint teas from now on. I know there are flavor differences between the two but I can’t ever keep them straight.
This tea is saving my life right now. No lie.
Well, hello there! There’s room to move your desk into my office, which this time of year, hovers between “popsicle” and “restaurant-grade meat locker.” Peppermint works well in the summer, doesn’t it? Cools you down a little either way.
