Metropolitan Tea - Peppermint Williamette Loose Leaf originates from Washington State, where the moist mountain air of early summer yields peppermint leaves packed with concentrated essential oils. The dry leaves display a vibrant, deep green appearance that reveals fine, carefully cut foliage. Upon steeping, the leaf material turns bright green with light yellow undertones, producing a pale golden liquor with absolute clarity. The intense herbal aroma fills the room immediately upon contact with hot water. A rich menthol presence dominates the initial palate with clean, sharp notes, followed by an unmistakable cooling sensation that lingers long after the final sip. The natural sweetness of the peppermint unfolds gradually without any bitter edge, providing a crisp and refreshing finish.
