Mentha x piperita / Franconian Peppery-Sweet Variety / Peppermint is the cross between watermint (Mentha aquatica) and the sweeter spearmint (Mentha spicata).
This potent organic Franconian variety of exellent quality was gently dried and carries a high content of essential oils, gives a pleasant aroma and infuses with a strong menthol flavor. Celebrated in herbal medicine, the use as an infusion is both, cooling and warming. Makes great Iced Tea as well.
To sweeten consider Rock Candy Crystals or our popular Oregon Tea Honeys # 88005.
Theine (caffeine) content: None

Notes: Altough the herb is save for internal and external use, the high concentration of menthol can be an irritant to some body constitutions. Start out using one teaspoon per cup, add boiling water and let infuse for about 8 minutes.

This is one of the infusions (tisanes) in our HEALTH & HARMONY^TM Tea Series that we are introducing on our website.
