Spearmint Tea

Spearmint tea is a refreshing and aromatic herbal infusion made from the leaves of the spearmint plant (Mentha spicata). Known for its milder, sweeter flavor profile compared to peppermint, spearmint tea offers a subtly minty and slightly sweet taste with a cooling sensation. The dried spearmint leaves used to make the tea are typically green in color and release a fragrant minty aroma when steeped in hot water. Enjoy spearmint tea for its soothing properties and delightful flavor.
