Did you know?
Peppermint is a natural hybrid of watermint and spearmint, first cultivated in the 18th century. It quickly became a staple of European herbal traditions, prized for both its flavour and its cooling, restorative properties.
Brewing is more than preparation — it’s a pause. Notice the aroma, the warmth of the cup, and the first sip. Each blend is an invitation to slow down and be present.
