Peppermint tea is the type of tea I really grew up drinking before I got into different teas. I would just get grocery store peppermint and I had no idea what I was missing until I tried this loose leaf peppermint.
I was shocked that the steep time was 30 seconds to a minute, but following the instructions and steeped for about 55 seconds.
I drank this cup so quickly it was just that good. I went about my afternoon and decided I wanted more. I had planned this time to be working at my desk so I opted for making a whole small teapots worth.
It was still amazing and still made me happy, the added benefit of no caffeine is a nice plus.
I was also surprised at how much tea you get with only 4oz, much more than most teas

Regarding peppermint loose leaf, I’ve found it tastes best when brewed way below boiling and with short steep times. Less musty, lighter and sweeter.
I will have to try it with a lower water temperature! Thank you!
I love it iced, too. Sometimes I just stick a bag in a water bottle of ice cold water and let it cold brew and sip on it in an insolated thermos. Refreshing and calms my tummy.
that sounds great! How long do you cold brew it for? or do you just start drinking it soon after
Sometimes I make a liter batch in the fridge, and usually I just set that overnight, then strain and drink it the next day. Other times I just put a few teabags worth into my insolated water bottle filled with ice cold refrigerated water from the Pur pitcher in the fridge and just leave the bags in the water bottle and take it on the go; I usually give it at least 30 minutes before I start drinking from it, the flavor will taste more like water with some mint leaves early on but quickly turn into that “mint tea” taste later.
