THINK SPRING!
Spearmint is a hardy perennial mint with bright green serrated leaves and pink to lilac colored, spiked flowers. This herb has served as an important medicinal herb for ages. There are recordings within the Bible that the ancient Pharisees paid tithes to their temple with anise, cumin and spearmint. And beginning in the 14th century it was used for whitening teeth and freshening breath.
Today, we still use spearmint in many dental products. But medicinally, spearmint is known to help with digestive issues, mental strain, fatigue and stress. Topically it is known to be used to help treat acne and the oil is used as an insecticide. More recent studies have shown that, potentially, drinking spearmint tea everyday can help balance out blood sugar levels.
We like to use dried Spearmint into any herbal tea blends for a light minty flavor that's not too overpowering. It is also great to infuse into oils that can help with repelling unwanted insects!
All of our dried herbs are locally grown in Jamesport, NY at our certified organic farm. We start each herb from seed or root cutting on farm, hand tend it until peak potency, then mindfully harvest. Next, each herb is small batch dried, processed, and bagged for sale.
