{"product_id":"organic-mint-herbal-tea","title":"Northwest Mint","description":"\u003ch3\u003eThe two-mint cup that drinks cleaner than peppermint alone.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrganic peppermint and spearmint, hand-blended in our Salem, Oregon kitchen. Peppermint (Mentha x piperita) brings the cooling menthol punch that opens the sinuses and clears the head. Spearmint (Mentha spicata) rounds it out with a natural candy-like sweetness that makes the whole cup feel like a treat, not a medicine. The contrast between the two is what makes the blend feel complete. Peppermint contains roughly 40% menthol; spearmint contains almost none, relying instead on carvone for its softer character. The two compounds balance each other in the cup the way they balance each other in the garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy the Pacific Northwest grows the best mint in the world.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVolcanic soils and cool nights concentrate essential oils in the leaves. Oregon and Washington produce roughly 70% of the peppermint oil used in American food and beverage, with the Willamette Valley as the center. The same terroir that grows world-class hops and Pinot Noir also grows mint with a depth of flavor that greenhouse-grown or imported mint can't match. The leaves steep vivid green and hold their menthol through multiple infusions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBlended in our Salem, Oregon kitchen.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a YBTCO botanical blend, not a single-origin tea. We source the peppermint and spearmint from certified organic growers in the Pacific Northwest, then hand-blend them in small batches to keep the menthol-to-sweetness ratio consistent. Sharp, sweet, clean.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yerba Buena Tea Co.","offers":[{"title":"Signature Tin","offer_id":47256400888130,"sku":"SQ9488587","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Refill Bag","offer_id":47256400920898,"sku":"SQ9488588","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0806\/0862\/4962\/files\/northwest-mint-loose-leaf-tea-ybtco.webp?v=1779851321","url":"https:\/\/ybtco.mom\/products\/organic-mint-herbal-tea","provider":"Yerba Buena Tea Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
