Peppermint

Peppermint tea is a refreshing herbal infusion made from the leaves of the peppermint plant (Mentha piperita). Naturally caffeine-free, it has a crisp, cool flavour with a strong, minty aroma that’s invigorating and soothing at the same time. Known for its health benefits, peppermint tea is widely consumed for its digestive, calming, and refreshing properties.

Key benefits of peppermint tea:

Aids digestion: Peppermint tea is commonly used to relieve indigestion, bloating, and gas, thanks to its ability to relax the muscles in the digestive tract.
Soothes headaches: The menthol in peppermint has cooling and analgesic properties, which may help ease tension headaches and migraines.
Freshens breath: Its natural minty flavour acts as a breath freshener and helps kill bacteria in the mouth.
Relieves congestion: The menthol in peppermint can help open up the airways, making it useful for relieving nasal congestion and cold symptoms.
Calms nausea: Peppermint tea is often recommended for its anti-nausea effects, which can be particularly helpful during travel or pregnancy.

The flavour of peppermint tea is clean, crisp, and invigorating, with a cooling aftertaste that makes it a refreshing drink, whether served hot or iced. Its natural sweetness also means it can be enjoyed without any added sweeteners.
