Peppermint Tea

Mystic Monk Coffee’s herbal peppermint tea is made from only one simple ingredient — dried peppermint leaves. 

While it may be just one ingredient, the leaves contain a few beneficial essential oils, including menthol, menthone, and limonene. These oils potentially give the tea several amazing health benefits, and the menthol adds a cooling, minty flavor and aroma to the tea.

To prepare Mystic Monk Coffee Peppermint Tea, you should measure out a teaspoon or so of loose-leaf tea and add it to a tea infuser like our  stainless steel tea infuser.

Then you should pour boiling water into a cup or mug with the infuser resting inside. After steeping the tea for 5-7 minutes, it will be ready for you to enjoy.

If you prefer to make iced tea rather than hot tea, follow these steps, pour the steeped tea over a cup of ice or into a pitcher to chill in the fridge, then enjoy a cool and refreshing iced mint tea.

Peppermint tea is a delicious drink you can enjoy any time of the day. It is also naturally caffeine and calorie-free, making it a simple, healthy drink as well.

However, if you want to add some extra flavor and caffeine to your tea, you can mix it with green or black tea for an added twist of flavors. Even better, you can add a squeeze of lemon or a dash of citrus juice to throw in a nice sour zing to your tea.

You can also add sugar, honey, or cream to your mint tea and blend in some extra sweetness.

Peppermint tea is known to potentially relieve a lot of different health issues. Here are some of the various benefits of peppermint tea:

Indigestion

Peppermint tea is well known for its ability to ease indigestion. Peppermint tea can help reduce IBS symptoms as it supports your digestive health and can provide some much-needed relief from an upset stomach. 

However, some have suggested that it can worsen or trigger heartburn, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and other acid reflux issues, so be sure to serve it light to those with such chronic conditions.

Sinus Decongestant

Peppermint tea has also been known to help decongest the sinuses. If you have clogged sinuses from an infection, cold, or allergy symptoms, the antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory properties of peppermint tea can help give you relief. 

Pain Relief

Peppermint is also known to act as a muscle relaxant and can be a good pain reliever. It is especially well-known for reducing headaches and pain caused by menstrual cramps. The tea can also relieve symptoms of a sore throat.

Peppermint tea works as a pain reliever because the menthol in peppermint increases blood flow and provides a cooling sensation. 

Focus and Energy Boost

Many people have found that drinking peppermint tea gives them a boost of energy and concentration. Peppermint tea may also have properties that could increase memory and cognitive function. 

If you drink peppermint tea, it could help reduce your stress and increase your overall alertness. Drinking peppermint tea could also help perk you up during the day without later dealing with the negative side effects of a highly caffeinated drink like coffee.

Peppermint tea and peppermint oil are both derived from the peppermint plant, but they serve different purposes and have distinct characteristics.

Peppermint tea is made by steeping dried or fresh peppermint leaves in hot water, creating a delightful and aromatic herbal infusion. It offers a soothing and refreshing flavor, often enjoyed for its calming effects and digestive benefits.

On the other hand, peppermint oil is a concentrated extract obtained from peppermint leaves through distillation. It contains high levels of essential oils like menthol, which gives it a strong and potent flavor. Peppermint oil is widely used for aromatherapy, in topical applications for soothing muscles and headaches, and for improving respiratory health. However, due to its intense concentration, peppermint oil should be used with caution and in limited amounts to avoid potential side effects like heartburn, nausea, and skin irritation.

Peppermint tea is a refreshing and caffeine-free herbal beverage with various health benefits, while peppermint oil is a highly-concentrated extract, requiring careful usage in small doses. Both offer unique advantages and are popular choices among individuals seeking natural remedies and delightful experiences.

Herbal peppermint tea is renowned for its invigorating and refreshing qualities, but what sets it apart from other teas is its lack of caffeine. Unlike traditional teas derived from the Camellia sinensis plant, such as black, oolong, and green tea, pure peppermint tea is naturally caffeine-free. This makes it an excellent choice for those seeking a soothing and calming beverage without the stimulant effects of caffeine. 

Whether you enjoy it in the morning, afternoon, or evening, herbal peppermint tea provides a delightful and invigorating experience, perfect for moments of relaxation and tranquility throughout the day.

Mystic Monk Coffee has two other herbal caffeine-free tea blends outside of our mint tea to help give you a delicious drink without any of the negative side effects of caffeine.
