Spearmint

Mentha spicata | Women's Wellness · Digestive Comfort · Naturally Caffeine-Free

In kitchens from Beirut to Athens, a pot of spearmint tea after a meal isn't just tradition — it's ritual. This bright, gentler cousin of peppermint has been part of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern daily life for thousands of years.

Spearmint's signature aroma comes from carvone, a compound traditionally associated with digestive comfort, alongside rosmarinic acid, which preclinical research suggests may support the body's normal, healthy inflammatory response.* Clinical research has also taken particular interest in spearmint tea's relationship to hormone levels already within normal range in women, examining consumption across multiple menstrual cycles.*

How to Brew

1. Add 1 tsp dried spearmint leaf to a cup of freshly boiled water
2. Cover immediately and steep 5–10 minutes (covering keeps the volatile oils from evaporating)
3. Strain and enjoy warm or iced

Traditional tip: In Levantine tradition, spearmint is often brewed together with black tea and a touch of sugar — a household ritual as much about hospitality as flavor.
