Oh I love peppermint tea! and I probably say it again and again. Recently, I expressed how much I love tea, and I mentioned that peppermint tea is my favorite in my earlier blog post, My Mindful Mornings. Here, I would like to talk a little bit more about the benefits of peppermint tea and share some recommendations on the recent favorite brands I’ve tried.
recommendations on my recent favorite brands I’ve tried.
When I search ‘The benefits of peppermint tea’ on a search engine, I’m likely to find that one of the most common answers is that it may ease bloating and indigestion. However, apart from those benefits, I’ve found that the reason why I love drinking peppermint tea is simply because I enjoy its fresh taste. Additionally, I can drink it anytime—it’s a caffeine-free herbal tea, and I don’t need to worry about the calories.
Here are summaries of the top three significant highlights of the benefits of Peppermint Tea, from research on the internet.
Digestive Health: Peppermint tea has been shown to have positive effects on digestion. The menthol in peppermint helps relax the muscles of the gastrointestinal tract, which can alleviate symptoms of indigestion, bloating, and gas.
High in Antioxidants: Peppermint is rich in antioxidant properties that help strengthen your body’s immune system. (Source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6696458/)
Stress Relief: Peppermint leaves contain several essential oils, including menthol, limonene and menthone, which provide the aromatic essence and fresh taste. The calming aroma and effects of peppermint can alleviate feelings of anxiety, promoting relaxation. A cup of peppermint tea before bedtime might also enhance sleep quality by inducing a sense of calmness and relaxation.
I once savored the best peppermint tea, which I received as a gift in summer 2023. It was organically homegrown from a small town in Estonia. Those homegrown peppermint teas turned me into a tea ritual enthusiast. However, after I finished them, I started exploring other teas in the market and tried both local and international brands that I could find. Here are some of the peppermint tea brands that I currently love and would like to share with you!
I first discovered Harney & Sons brand many years ago through their famous blend called ‘Paris,’ which quickly became my favorite black tea. Then, last year, while I was browsing for peppermint tea in the local market, I stumbled upon the Harney & Sons distributor’s store at the fair and had the opportunity to try their Peppermint Tea for the first time. Of course, I ended up purchasing a tin box back home. I love the freshness, strong aromatic smell, and sparkling taste of their peppermint.
Harney & Sons is a brand from America. They offer a few options for the tea, including tea bags, sachets, and loose leaves. Making peppermint tea from Harney & Sons has become my favorite ritual – inhaling the aromatic scent is the best part, apart from drinking the tea itself.
While I was looking for elderberries on the internet, I randomly stumbled upon Frontier-Co-op. (I miss making elderberry lemonade!) Yes, Frontier-Co-op offers not just elderberries, but also a variety of herbal teas, including the peppermint tea that I was just looking for.
The brand represents their organic herbal tea that comes in a ziplock bag and at a good price. It’s very convenient to take the bag with me when I’m traveling!
Here come the tea bags! I remember once trying Dilmah’s peppermint exceptional collection at a cafe a few years ago, and it was the first time I got so excited about drinking peppermint tea. Just recently, I found this version of Dilmah peppermint tea in the supermarket, and I decided to give it a try.
Making tea from a tea bag is quite convenient, and it’s easy to take the tea bags with me when I’m traveling or preparing a quick tea in a mug. When it comes to the tea bag version, I would say that Dilmah represents the most authentic sensations of peppermint tea for me.
You can order these peppermint tea online directly from their websites. For Thailand, you can order products from iHerb, and they typically arrive within 7-14 days.
