Mint to Be Tea

Portland Press Herald Newspaper, called our Mint to Be Tea, rejuvenating and refreshing!  They were right!  It is! 

Mint to Be Tea starts with a gunpowder green tea then blended with harvested spearmint.  This cup of tea is a minty refreshing blend to have any time of day. 

Mint to Be Tea is caffeinated, but contains less caffeine than traditional black teas, green teas are also high in healthy antioxidants!

Our Mint to Be tea leaves are grown and harvested from a plantation in China. 

Fun fact, per the Tea Association of the USA, in 2021, Americans consumed almost 85 billion servings of tea, with 15% being green tea.  Consumers continued to drink tea in order to ease stress, relax, calm and center them.

Mint to Be can be ICED or HOT.  Both ways are great. 

ICED: The Mint to Be Tea blend is lovely iced on a hot summer day or served with brunch.  Use 1/4 cup of the tea blend steeped in 1 gallon of boiling water for 4 minutes.  Add sweetener to taste and cool in refrigerator.  (If steeped over 4 minutes the tea will burn and have a bitter taste – if this happens, add a ¼ teaspoon baking soda.  Adding the baking soda will also clear up the tea if it becomes cloudy. 

We like to add fresh mint with both hot and iced tea when serving to guests.

HOT: Use 1 teaspoon of tea in 1 cup of boiling water for 3 minutes.  Add sweetener and milk.  (If steeped over 3 minutes the tea will burn and have a bitter taste). You can steep the same tea bag several times during one sitting.

Great News!  Per the Tea Association of the USA, Tea is the most widely consumed beverage in the world next to water, and can be found in almost 80% of all U.S. households. It is the only beverage commonly served hot or iced, anytime, anywhere, for any occasion. On any given day, over 159 million Americans are drinking tea.
