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

Much larger bag than I thought I bought this to mix with a hibiscus tea and ice it it has a very good taste and smells fresh I didn’t find anything inside the bag and it came sealed well it is very finely ground though and it is a very good price for the amount I got

Open the package one can smell the fresh smell if spearmint. Taste is smooth. I used a squeeze of real lemon. Plan to try cool and as sun tea

The bag is HUGE and I love the quality!

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.

This bag was so much bigger than I was expecting! I purchased this in order to make tea by the gallon; I have PCOS, and spearmint tea helps with some of the issues that come with living with the disorder. Other cysters say 2 cups a day is ideal; I'm not one to drink hot tea all the time, so I bought this to make full gallons of iced tea. These aren't full leaves; they're chopped up like what you'd find if you cut open a tea bag. If you don't have a tea strainer, you're going to want to invest in one, or get a fine mesh strainer to pour your tea through. I alternate between throwing it in the pot to steep loose and using a strainer, or filling 2 tea balls for steeping. Depends on how much work I want to put in. The scent upon opening the bag is wonderful, and I was surprised at how delicious a tall, cold glass of spearmint iced tea would be. This summer will be delightfully refreshing!

I love it! The bag is huge and so convenient. I love that it comes with directions. I'm in my thirties and I started having the worst hormonal acne, nothing, nothing has helped! From day 1, the acne flare-ups stopped, and on day 2, the swelling went down. I used it for maybe 6 days. I stopped taking it for 2 days and got new pimples, so I know for sure it's the tea making a difference. I drink 2 cups a day.

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.

A rather strong mint. It's stronger than the mint I grew in my garden. Tea that I made with this mint , had to be watered down a bit because it really is a strong mint flavor
