{"product_id":"peppermint-tea-cut-organic","title":"Peppermint, Tea Cut","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePeppermint is the herb that needs no convincing. Almost everyone already loves it — the clean, bright, intensely cooling rush of real menthol, the way it clears your head and settles your stomach in the same breath. But most people have only ever experienced peppermint as a flavoring — in gum, in candy, in toothpaste. Real whole leaf organic peppermint, properly dried and brewed, is in a different category entirely. Bright, complex, genuinely cooling, with a depth of flavor that no extract or flavoring can replicate. It is one of the great everyday herbs, and one of the most versatile in the apothecary.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur peppermint is certified organic, tea cut, with that characteristic vibrant green leaf and the intensely fresh, cooling menthol aroma that hits you the moment you open the bag.
