In ancient Greek mythology, the plant was born from the beautiful nymph Minthe, transformed by the gods into a sweet-smelling herb that releases an intoxicating fragrance whenever stepped upon. It was highly prized by Egyptian nobility, who placed dried mint leaves inside the pharaohs' tombs to guide and soothe them in the afterlife. Centuries later, throughout the Roman Empire, scholars like Pliny the Elder wore crowns of fresh peppermint to stimulate the mind and accelerate deep intellect during intense philosophical debates. It was also utilised extensively across early European apothecary traditions to naturally ease digestion after heavy banquets. When you brew these whole leaves today, you are participating in an invigorating ritual enjoyed across civilisations for thousands of years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-Definition Menthol:\u003c\/strong\u003e A sharp, instant cooling wave that immediately clears the palate and senses.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSweet Herbaceousness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Subtle, naturally sweet undertones reminiscent of crisp, untamed mountain air.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVelvety Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e An incredibly smooth, buttery mouthfeel that leaves a long-lasting, refreshing chill.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMouthfeel \u0026amp; Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Luxuriously clean, crisp, vibrant, and completely free of bitterness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy It's Special\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100% Crown Leaves:\u003c\/strong\u003e Premium botanical-grade \u003cem\u003eMentha × piperita\u003c\/em\u003e ensures maximum density of volatile essential oils for a richer flavour that never tastes flat or watery.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVisual Elegance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Watch the deep, dark-veined emerald leaves unfurl gracefully, making it the perfect partner for our glass and magnetic teapots.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePure \u0026amp; Clean:\u003c\/strong\u003e Naturally caffeine-free, non-GMO, and free from any artificial additives, fillers, or flavourings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBrewing Instructions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScoop:\u003c\/strong\u003e Use 1–2 teaspoons of whole loose leaves per cup into your infuser.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Add freshly boiled water cooled slightly to 90°C–95°C to protect the delicate essential oils.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteep:\u003c\/strong\u003e Infuse for 5 to 7 minutes under a closed lid to fully trap the cooling therapeutic vapours.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnjoy:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sip purely on its own, or enhance naturally with a fresh slice of lemon.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Whole Organic Peppermint Leaves (\u003cem\u003eMentha × piperita\u003c\/em\u003e).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCaffeine Content:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0% (Naturally Caffeine-Free).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDietary Info:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vegan, Gluten-Free, Keto-Friendly, Non-GMO.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging:\u003c\/strong\u003e Eco-friendly, heat-sealed, resealable pouch to preserve freshness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Ember \u0026 Olive Coffee Co.","offers":[{"title":"25 Pyramid Teabags","offer_id":54135242326343,"sku":"705983","price":21.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g Loose Leaf","offer_id":54135242359111,"sku":"705996","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/0579\/9751\/files\/Shopifylabel_a650ac28-f0b7-4e3a-97d4-860a0f1f2427.svg?v=1781189294","url":"https:\/\/www.emberolivecoffee.shop\/products\/peppermint-catalyst","provider":"Ember \u0026 Olive Coffee Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
