INFORMATION: 
Our Peppermint Revival tea is made of the richest Willamette Peppermint leaves grown along the Willamette Valley, in Oregon, USA.  Farmers from this region have come to love Peppermint for its ability to provide for their families for generations. Legend has it that in the past, barrels of peppermint oil, made from fresh Willamette leaf, were stored in bank vaults while holding out for prices to go up. To this day a barrel of Willamette peppermint oil can be worth $10,000. Why so valuable? Consider that a single pound of Willamette peppermint oil can flavour upwards of 40,000 sticks of gum, or 1500 tubes of toothpaste!  This brings new meaning to the saying “it’s worth a mint”!

We love Willamette Valley Mint because it makes what we believe to be the finest mint tea available. Not only is this tea delicious, it also has many health benefits.  According to nutritionists and natural health practitioners, caffeine free Peppermint tea can aid digestion, ease inflation in the body, and soothe the stressful mind.  Exceptionally clean, sharp and loaded with minty character, you're going to fall head over heels for Peppermint Revival.

IDEAL BREWING TEMPERATURE: 100ºC/212ºF

HOT BREWING METHOD: 
Bring filtered or freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil. Place 1 slightly heaping teaspoon of loose tea for each 7-9oz / 200-260ml of fluid volume in the teapot. Pour the boiling water into the teapot. Cover and let steep for 3-7 minutes according to taste (the longer the steeping time the stronger the tea).

ICED TEA BREWING METHOD (Pitcher): (To Make 1 Litre/Quart): 
Place 6 slightly heaping teaspoons of loose tea into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Using filtered or freshly drawn cold water, boil and pour 1¼ cups/315ml over the tea. Steep for 5 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into your serving pitcher straining the tea. Add ice and top-up the pitcher with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste. A rule of thumb when preparing fresh brewed iced tea is to increase the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water. (Note: Some luxury quality teas may turn cloudy when poured over ice. This is a sign of high quality and to be expected).

ICED TEA BREWING METHOD (Individual Serving): 
Place 1 slightly heaping teaspoon of loose tea into a teapot for each serving required. Using filtered or freshly drawn cold water, boil and pour 6-7oz/170-200ml per serving over the tea. Cover and let steep for 5 minutes. Add hot tea to a 12oz/375ml acrylic glass filled with ice, straining the tea. Not all of the tea will fit, allowing for approximately an additional ½ serving. Sweeten and/or add lemon to taste. A rule of thumb when preparing fresh brewed iced tea is to increase the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted. (Note: Some luxury quality teas may turn cloudy when poured over ice. This is a sign of high quality and to be expected).

FOOD SAFETY ADVISORY: We strongly recommend using filtered or freshly drawn cold water brought to a rolling boil when brewing all types of tea.

ANTIOXIDANT BENEFIT: For a greater antioxidant benefit brew longer and use more tea.

SAFETY PRECAUTION: Practice caution ALWAYS when handling hot/boiled water to prevent burns.  ALWAYS USE TEMPERED GLASS/HEAT RESISTANT CUPS/PITCHERS/GLASS/CERAMICS OR ANY SERVING WARE DEEMED SAFE FOR HOT BEVERAGES.
