The after-dinner classic. Peppermint's menthol relaxes your gut, easing bloating and that heavy, over-full feeling while it cools and clears your head at the same time*.

Works so well after a big meal, as a clean midday reset, or as the backbone of your own blends. The aroma alone tells you there's nothing weak about this one.

Sold in 1 oz quantities. Makes 6-10 cups of tea.

  • Why does this tea work?

    Peppermint's primary traditional use is digestive. Menthol relaxes the smooth muscles of the gastrointestinal tract, which is why it has long been used to ease bloating, calm nausea, and relieve the tight uncomfortable feeling after a heavy meal.

    Beyond digestion, it has traditionally been used to support mental clarity and alertness, and many people find an afternoon cup a useful alternative to caffeine that will not affect sleep.

    Also long used to support clear breathing during seasonal congestion.

  • How do I use this tea?

    Bright, clean, strong cooling finish, no bitterness when brewed correctly.

    Naturally sweet enough to drink without anything added, though honey works well.

    One teaspoon per eight ounces of water at 212 degrees, steeped five to seven minutes.

    Going longer than seven minutes can bring a slightly sharper edge, so taste as you go.

  • Can I boost the benefits of this tea?

    Peppermint + Marshmallow Root

    Peppermint eases discomfort and calms spasm in the upper digestive tract while marshmallow root coats and soothes the digestive lining from the inside.

    One moves things along, the other provides a protective quality.

    A useful pairing for anyone whose digestion runs toward irritation or sensitivity.

  • Who should use extra caution?

    If you have gastroesophageal reflux disease or a hiatal hernia, avoid peppermint. It can relax the lower esophageal sphincter and worsen symptoms.

    People with gallstones should use it cautiously as it can stimulate bile flow.

    It may interact with cyclosporine and some medications processed by the liver, so check with your doctor if you are on regular prescriptions.

    Not recommended in large amounts during pregnancy.

    Avoid entirely in infants and young children as menthol can cause breathing difficulties in small children.
