English Name: Peppermint Tea
French Name: Thé à la Menthe Poivrée
Also Known As: Mentha Piperita Tea, Peppermint Herbal Tea, Garden Peppermint Tea, Menthe Poivrée Infusion
Part Used: Leaves of Mentha × piperita
Description: Peppermint Tea is a loose-leaf herbal infusion made from the dried leaves of Mentha × piperita, a perennial hybrid herb derived from water mint (Mentha aquatica) and spearmint (Mentha spicata). The plant typically grows 0.3 to 1 meter in height with square, erect stems and bright green, lance-shaped leaves that are slightly serrated. Peppermint produces small, purplish-pink flowers during mid to late summer. As a perennial, the plant regenerates from its root system each year, and leaves are harvested during the growing season, usually before flowering, when the foliage is at peak aromatic intensity. The leaves are naturally fragrant and rich in cooling, minty essential oils that define the characteristic peppermint aroma.
After harvesting, the leaves are thoroughly cleaned and gently dried to preserve their vibrant green color, natural aroma, and crisp, refreshing flavor. Minimal processing ensures that the leaves maintain their essential aromatic qualities. When brewed, Peppermint Tea produces a pale green to light golden infusion with a bright, invigorating aroma and a naturally cool, crisp, and slightly sweet flavor. The visual texture of the dried leaves adds to the sensory appeal of the tea.
Uses: Peppermint Tea can be enjoyed hot or cold. For a hot infusion, add one teaspoon of dried leaves to a cup of hot water and steep for 5 to 8 minutes, adjusting steeping time to taste. For iced tea, brew a stronger infusion, allow it to cool, and serve over ice for a refreshing, naturally aromatic beverage. The leaves can also be blended with other herbs, green teas, or floral infusions to create layered flavors and aromas.
Peppermint Tea pairs well with complementary ingredients such as lemon peel, chamomile, hibiscus, or ginger, which enhance aroma and add subtle depth to the flavor. Light natural sweeteners like honey or agave syrup can be added according to taste. The brewed infusion can also serve as a base for herbal blends, flavored teas, culinary infusions, or aromatic water infusions. Its naturally cooling, crisp, and refreshing character makes it ideal for daily enjoyment, calming tea rituals, or as part of a curated herbal tea collection.
Storage: In a cool, dry space, sealed against the elements as much as possible.
