All About Spearmint Tea

Spearmint (Mentha spicata) is a perennial, herbaceous plant belonging to the Lamiaceae family. Also known as garden mint or common mint, it’s native to the Mediterranean, although it has since spread throughout much of the world.

Its relatives include Peppermint Tea and Watermint, both of which share distinct similarities to Spearmint. However, it has one noteworthy difference: less menthol content.

This remarkable herb can grow to heights of up to 1 metre, consisting of deep-green, oval-shaped leaves with serrated margins. These leaves have many uses, including chewing gum and, of course, Tea.

The flowers, meanwhile, tend to be either pink or white, with the cultivation of the plant taking place in numerous regions. This includes Europe, West Africa, North and South America, and Oceania.

Historians believe that the Romans brought spearmint to the UK over a thousand years ago. It then arrived in the Americas via English colonists many centuries later. Drinking Spearmint Tea during the American Revolution (1775-1783) eventually became a viable alternative to ‘real’ Tea due to British blockades. Now, of course, Spearmint Tea is popular almost everywhere!
