Anthony's Organic Dried Spearmint Leaves, 1 lb, Gluten Free, Non GMO, Cut and Sifted

The bag smelled wonderful...I believe the product is fresh and great! Tastes just like you would imagine! I bought this to help with my adult acne and drink it once a day for the health benefits!

I’ve never steeped spearmint leaves before to make a tea. This is a new experience for me. I use several other Anthony’s products so there’s a strong existing trust level. This product does not disappoint. Fresh. Extremely aromatic when I opened the package. And having just steeped my first brew, wondering if the spearmint flavor would come through, based on concerns I had from a few other reviews, I was very happy that with the first sip my nose picked up the strong spearmint aroma and then my taste buds followed through with a very strong spearmint taste. I steeped one heaping tablespoon of leaves in eight ounces of water. I set the temperature level on my adjustable hot water maker to 185F.

I’ve been drinking once a day for 2 weeks and the hair on my face has stopped growing on my face.

Very finely ground, so a lot gets through my strainer, but it's amazing! Great drink for people with PCOS.

Seems to be Five star. Tastes good, and is what I expected. Not sure about the aluminum lining in the bag. Is aluminum okay to be right next to your food?

It's over-cut and/or under-sifted, imo. Tastes great, but there's more powder than flakes. What flakes there are are very tiny, and the rest is powder. I make my own tea using this, and a lot of particles get through the tightly woven muslin bags I use. If you use a metal teaball, most of your tea leaves will end up at the bottom of your cup! I tend to like the Anthony's brand, so decided to try it, but will go back to Frontier Co-op, which is also organic and reasonably priced, but is bigger flakes that leave behind less residue. I'll continue buying Anthony's for different items--just not dried spearmint. LOL I've never gotten any of their dried herbs before... maybe all the "flakes" are this powdery? Maybe I got a wonky batch? I dunno, but I've always been pleased with Frontier, so I'll get that from now on.

I decided to revise my review. My previous comments were about the hot tea. As an iced tea, it is phenomenal. (The spearmint flavor is barely discernable. This might be good if you like minty flavor in your cooking or a fan of green tea)

Huge bag, like a lifetime supply. Definitely quality. Love it
