Varietal No. 45
Caffeine Free Peppermint Leaves from Oregon
It's
no secret that the world's best peppermint comes from Oregon. Gently
hand-screened for perfect leaf size, it infuses a full, creamy flavor
with distinct chocolate notes and an intense finish. A great after
dinner treat or midday breath freshener.
This small
batch of tea was personally crafted for you by Steven Smith, teamaker.
It's beautifully simple, really. Just carefully chosen lots of
freshly-harvested peppermint from our friends on the other side of Mt.
Hood. About 35 years ago, Smith began working with farmers here in
Oregon to introduce their peppermint tea to the world. Prior to that
all we had was that Egyptian mint dust. Thanks, Steve.
