Organic Peppermint Tea
Traditional Medicinals sets the industry standard by using pharmacopoeial-grade herbs, ensuring high essential oil content and therapeutic potency. Their peppermint is sourced from specific regions in the Pacific Northwest that produce superior menthol levels compared to generic grocery brands.
Quality & Materials
Single-ingredient organic peppermint (Mentha x piperita). High essential oil content is verified through laboratory testing to ensure digestive benefits.
Evidence & Testing
The product meets USP standards for identity, purity, and strength. The brand employs full-time herbalists and scientists to oversee formulation and testing.
Brand Transparency
Fully transparent sourcing; they provide detailed information on their ethical trading partnerships and regional sourcing (Washington/Oregon).
Value Assessment
Extremely high value; despite the pharmaceutical-grade quality, the price per bag remains competitive with lower-quality mass-market brands.
Why Not Alternatives?
Unlike competitors who use 'tea-grade' herbs (which are often the dust and fannings left over), this product uses 'pharmacopoeial grade' herbs that meet USP (United States Pharmacopeia) standards for purity and potency. Many competitors also use 'natural flavors' to mask low-quality herbs, which this product avoids.
