# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • A five-minute escape that feels like a warm hug from someone who cares, perfect for those moments when you need to pause and breathe
  • Your digestive system will thank you after a heavy meal, and you'll discover that this simple tea works better than you'd ever expect
  • No guilt, no caffeine jitters, just pure refreshment that tastes like you actually did something good for yourself
02 -
  • Five minutes is the sweet spot for steeping—I once thought longer would mean stronger and ended up with an unpleasantly bitter cup that taught me a valuable lesson about patience and restraint
  • Using water that's truly boiling makes all the difference in flavor extraction; lukewarm water will leave you with a disappointingly weak tea that tastes like you forgot to actually steep it
03 -
  • Store your tea bags in an airtight container away from light and strong spices so they maintain their fragrance and potency for months
  • If you're sensitive to the stimulating qualities of peppermint in the evening, drink it earlier in the afternoon instead—everyone's body responds differently, so listen to yours
