Description
DESCRIPTION:
The best peppermint comes from the northwestern United States. The pure moist mountain air of the spring and early summer growing season gives this peppermint some of the highest volatile oil counts of any member of the mint family. Generally, the second cut is the most flavorful, coolest, and most pungent. Peppermint is an herb and contains no caffeine. Quite often peppermint is consumed after meals as the oils stimulate the flow of bile to the stomach and help relieve gas pains. Additionally, it has been reported and written that peppermint sweetens the breath and calms the digestive system, plus it helps heartburn, stomach ache, and nausea. There are several varieties and countries of origin of Chamomila -sometimes referred to as bachelor buttons because of the shape of the flower heads – but the best quality comes from Egypt. Essential oils in the flowers produce a soothing pleasant aroma and a fruity character. Combining these two wonderful and extensively used herbs has produced a wonderful, caffeine-free, cup of herbal tea.

ADDITIONAL INFO:
Chamomile flowers have a yellow center and white petals – they almost look like a daisy. In some parts of Europe, particularly southern France, chamomile plants have been strewn on floors or pathways to give the area a good scent. In many circles, Chamomile is called nighty night tea or sleepy tea on account of its natural properties which promote restfulness and drowsiness.

Awesome combination! I was making this same brew with two separate teas (a Chamomile and peppermint), for a long time. Which was fine but it was costing me twice as much. So glad I found this combination in one tea bag! I’m planning on buying more next time. Great find!!

This is a lovely blend of peppermint and chamomile. Hot is great, but as an iced tea, it’s incredibly delicious and light.

This tea is the ultimate relaxation tonic. Chamomile and peppermint are both known to help you unwind and relax. I find the peppermint mixed in makes it a bit lighter. Have a cup of this each night before bed and sleep like a rock!
