{"product_id":"lemon-ginger-mint","title":"Lemon Ginger Mint","description":"\u003ch3\u003eThe stomach-settling blend built on four carminatives.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour herbs, each classified as a carminative in Western herbalism: ginger root warms and moves, spearmint cools and releases, lemongrass and lemon verbena brighten the whole thing with citral-rich oils. Carminatives relax the smooth muscle in the digestive tract and let trapped gas pass, which is why this blend has been the after-meal cup and the nausea cup since we opened. Bright lemon on the front, spicy ginger in the middle, cooling mint on the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy four, not one.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGinger alone can be too heating. Mint alone can be too cooling. Lemon alone lacks body. Together, they balance. The ginger provides the warming action that moves digestion forward. The mint provides the cooling counterpoint that settles the cramping. The lemongrass and lemon verbena tie the cup together with a citrus thread that makes the whole thing drinkable, not medicinal. The blend works as a stomach soother, a travel-sickness cup, a post-meal ritual, and a cold-weather immune support all at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to brew it.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.5 teaspoons in 8 ounces of full-boil water, steep 6 minutes. The ginger root needs the full steep time to release its volatile oils. Drink it hot for the carminative effect, iced for a cooling tonic. Add honey to coat a sore throat. Blended in our Salem, Oregon kitchen.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yerba Buena Tea Co.","offers":[{"title":"Tea Tin","offer_id":47256390730050,"sku":"SQ2133833","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Tea Refill","offer_id":47256390762818,"sku":"SQ2133834","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0806\/0862\/4962\/files\/lemon-ginger-mint-loose-leaf-tea-ybtco.webp?v=1779851321","url":"https:\/\/ybtco.mom\/products\/lemon-ginger-mint","provider":"Yerba Buena Tea Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
