Sgt Peppermint Organic

Peppermint is a great tea for digestive troubles as it has calmative properties. Not only does it taste great but the aroma is very uplifting.

Some of Peppermint tea properties are Anti-sposmadic, Antiseptic, Antiemetic, Carminature, Chalagogue, Aromatic, Diarphoretic, Nervine and Analgestic.

Peppermint has a high menthol content, and is often used as a flavouring in tea, ice cream, confectionary, chewing gum and toothpaste. The oil also contains menthone and menthyl esters. It is the oldest and most popular flavour of mint flavoured confectionary. Peppermint can also be found in some shampoos and soaps, which give the hair a minty scent and produce a cooling sensation on the skin.

Peppermint, like many spices and herbs, is said to have medicinal properties when consumed. It is said that it helps against upset stomachs, inhibits the growth of certain bacteria, and can help smooth and relax muscles when inhaled or applied to the skin. Other health benefits are attributed to the high manganese, Vitamin C and Vitamin A content, as well as trace amounts of other nutrients such as Fibre, Calcium, Folate, Potassium, Tryptophan, Magnesium, Omega-3 fatty acids, Riboflavin, and Copper. Known as a good source of anti oxidants.

Place 2 teaspoons in a tea pot and add hot water. Let it steep for 4-5 minutes before serving. Use with a strainer over the cup or add it to the pot inside an infuser.
