Five Mountains only started to import peppermint tea at the request of its Michelin-starred restaurant clientele. But it applies the same stringent standards to herbs that it does to its traditional teas. It sources this mix of water mint and spearmint from a secret location in the Cascade Mountains, where the tea is vacuum-sealed on site to retain its freshness and fragrance.

Here's what you get:

  • 1 oz bag Pacific Peppermint tea (heirloom organic peppermint leaves)

Five Mountains Tea Cascade Mountains, Washington State, USA

Time spent living in Asia's mountain monasteries and adopting the ways of the monastic lifestyle taught the Five Mountains founders about, among other things, sacred tea traditions. They now share their expertise and love of organic, sustainably-harvested teas with the world.

Why We Love It

The exact source of Five Mountains' peppermint is a closely guarded secret but it's the moist, rich soil and heavy fog of the Cascade Mountains give this tisane its cooling properties. To brew the perfect cup, be aware of the three "Ts:" (water) temperature, (steeping) time and total (amount).Steep one to two teaspoons in eight ounces of boiling water for four to five minutes. The tea is certified organic in the United States as well as the far-stricter European Union and Japan.
