Fresh Spring Blend (Peppermint)
A herbal symphony with delicious mint notes and hints of peach and spice. The perfect pick me up. The peppermint gives the blend a spicy fresh profile, and it has long been associated with relaxation. Rose petals weave a delectable floral character through the cup. Since time immemorial Roses have been given as pick-me-up gifts - we figure including them in an herbal tea ought to have the same affect. Ginger's heat adds a layer of vitality to the blend that is sure to get the taste buds reeling and synapses firing with positive energy. Osmanthus is a flower known for its pleasant aroma and inspiring flavor. Rounding out the blend is the mellow herbal character of South African Rooibos, packed with Iron, Zinc and more.
