Spearmint Tea
(Mentha spicata L.)
Background:
Although it has a very similar aroma to peppermint, and shares many of the same digestive properties, spearmint contains a slightly different balance of plant chemicals. Spearmint has less menthol than peppermint, but is rich in phyto (plant) chemicals such as limonene, dihydrocarvone and cineol.1
