Anthony's Organic Dried Spearmint Leaves, 1lb, 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!
