Best for PCOS
I steep 1 tablespoon into 2 cups of boiling water and drink it iced throughout the day to lessen symptoms of PCOS. The flavor takes getting used to but now I love it. Try it with a little dairy free creamer to make an iced latte.
Our Organic Spearmint herbal tea is grown in the beautiful Pacific Northwest of the USA. Spearmint (Mentha spicata) is a member of the mint family that has less menthol than our organic peppermint and has a sugar-sweet taste that lingers in the mid-mouth. The liquor has a golden honey color and sweet aroma. Well-known in the United States as an ingredient in Southern sweet tea and mixed drinks such as the mojito and mint julep, spearmint is a versatile herb that can also make a delicious stand-alone cup of hot or iced herbal tea! Naturally caffeine-free, this organic loose leaf spearmint is a welcome addition to our domestically-grown herbal offerings.
Ingredients: organic USA spearmint
The Pacific Northwest is home to some of the most prolific and best tasting herbs in the United States. Sometimes referred to as Cascadia, this region includes the states of Oregon and Washington and is bounded by the Pacific Ocean to the west and the Rocky Mountains the east. The various climatic regions (from the mild summers with abundant rainfall in the mountains to the broad, dry plateaus) create the perfect growing conditions for many different types of herbs. Environmentalism is prominent throughout the region resulting in a strong commitment to organic and sustainable farming, and home to one of the original organic certifying bodies, Oregon Tilth. In our efforts to source as many products as possible from right here in the USA, we are delighted to offer herbal teas from this region and plan to continue to increase our selection of domestically grown herbs over the next few years.
At Arbor Teas, we believe tea should be brewed to suit your personal taste. We’re happy to make recommendations to get you started, but don’t hesitate to experiment! When brewing your tea, your main considerations are tea quantity, water temperature, and steeping time. We recommend rooibos and herbal teas to be steeped for 5 to 7 minutes in water heated to a full, rolling boil. For the best flavor, use fresh water whenever possible, and avoid overboiling. Try not to steep your tea longer than necessary, as you’ll extract undesirable bitterness from the leaves.If you want a stronger brew, don’t steep longer, just use more tea. And don’t forget to re-steep your tea leaves to get the most out of your leaf!

"I make a strong batch of this, put it in a spray bottle and use it in the garden to deter pests and fungus on new seedlings."
"I like this because it's a little bit sweeter than our Peppermint and it doesn't have the minty punch, it's more subtle."
"This spearmint is a must for everyone’s herb cabinet as it makes an ideal ingredient for concocting at-home blends!"

I'm not a fan of spearmint on its own as a tea BUT I love it as an ingredient for my own herbal blends. I've done a lot of research on different tea companies and I don't think you can get a more ethical or thoughtfully sourced spearmint than this one from Arbor. To be honest, I'm not sensitive enough that I notice a huge difference in flavor between spearmints so I can't speak to this tea from that perspective, but this is a tea I buy in bulk as an ingredient in blends. I absolutely love that this company pays attention not just to sourcing but packaging. The fact that this tea is "local" - grown in the USA - is a bonus for me.
I really like spearmint tea, and this one lives up to my expectations. It is a refreshing tea whether you drink it hot or iced. I rarely sweeten teas, so I cannot say how it is if you add sugar or honey, but I think it's great 'as is.' I am really enjoying my package of spearmint tea.
This is a great flavorful spearmint tea. I have 2 cups a day to help manage my PCOS. Highly recommend!
I really love this tea! The smell when it's steeping is amazing and I love how it smells every time I go in for a drink.
