01 -

This tea feels like a calming secret shared just between us, perfect for unwinding after a long day
Its simplicity and the fresh peppermint flavor quickly made it a comforting staple in my routine

02 -

Never rush the steeping time; letting it sit for a full 5 minutes really unlocks the peppermint’s calming flavor
Using fresh leaves makes a huge difference but if you only have dried, don’t panic—just remember to halve the quantity and adjust steeping slightly

03 -

Always pour boiling water over the leaves rather than adding leaves to hot water to better release flavor
Steeping covered traps the heat and essential oils, making every sip more aromatic and soothing
