Spearmint tea (Mentha viridis) is a certified organic herbal tea with a naturally sweet, refreshing flavour that makes it one of the most enjoyable everyday teas. Unlike peppermint, spearmint has a gentler, sweeter flavour with less menthol, making it a popular choice for those who find peppermint too strong. Spearmint tea has a long tradition of use for digestive comfort and has recently gained attention for its potential role in supporting hormonal balance.

Spearmint tea: Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of dried spearmint leaves to a cup of boiling water. Steep for 5 to 10 minutes, covered. Strain and drink. Enjoy hot or pour over ice for a refreshing cold brew.
In the kitchen: Add to salads, fruit platters, desserts, smoothies, or muddle into cocktails and mocktails. Makes a lovely addition to homemade lemonade.
Blending: Combine with Chamomile for a soothing evening blend, or with Lemon Balm for a refreshing digestive tea. Pairs beautifully with Lavender for a calming floral mint tea.
Spearmint gets its name from its distinctive pointed ("spear-shaped") leaves. It is one of the oldest cultivated herbs, with records of its use going back to ancient Rome, where it was used to flavour sauces and wines.
Spearmint is generally considered safe for dogs and cats in small amounts, though large quantities of any mint may cause digestive upset. It is commonly used in pet-safe garden plantings.
