Spearmint tea is made from Mentha spicata and offers a naturally mild and smooth flavour, a more delicate counterpart to peppermint. While peppermint tea bursts with cool intensity, spearmint leans into a softer, naturally sweet flavour, making it a popular choice for those after a calming, rounded mint experience. Although T2 Tea does not offer a pure spearmint-only tea, you’ll find its essence in two signature blends: Mint Mix (spearmint, peppermint & lemon verbena) and Detox (spearmint with fennel, juniper berries & lemongrass)

Steep your Mint Mix or Detox tea in freshly boiled 100°C water for 3–5 minutes. Enjoy it hot for a comforting moment, or try it chilled for a revitalising sip on warmer days.

To make spearmint loose leaf tea you’ll need tea tools like a teapot with an infuser or a tea strainer, a tea mug with infuser, or a T2 tea maker. Next steps:

1. Boil the kettle to 80°C or 100°C, depending on the tea.
2. Add a scoop or teaspoon of loose leaf tea per cup to your T2 teapot, Teamaker or a tea mug with infuser.
3. Pour in the boiling water and steep for between three and five or six minutes. Learn how to brew like a pro with your Teamaker— explore the full guide here.
4. Remove the infuser and pour into your favourite T2 mug or tea cup while inhaling the marvellously minty-fresh fragrance!

Spearmint is loved not just for its fresh flavour, but for its potential benefits too. Traditionally used to soothe digestion, refresh the senses and promote a sense of balance, this gentle herb has a long history in wellness circles.

Spearmint—like all our Herbal & Floral Tisanes—is naturally caffeine-free. That’s why it’s a favourite for winding down or sipping after dinner. Whether you choose loose leaf or tea bags, spearmint delivers a refreshing lift—without the caffeine kick.
