Ocean Mint Seaweed Tea - a 2024 Yankee Food Award Winner! Energize with this refreshing blend of peppermint balanced by a subtle kelp undertone, perfect for a natural boost that feels grounding. Caffeine-free with a mild seaweed taste, Ocean Mint is delicious on its own or with a touch of honey. Here's what Yankee Senior Food Editor, Amy Traverso, has to say about this tantalizing tea: Hear the phrase “seaweed tea,” and you might imagine a strange, salty brew. Not so! After being washed and dried, seaweed isn’t salty at all (dulse being the one exception) and can taste very much like green tea. Cup of Sea uses mineral-rich varieties such as kelp and sea lettuce and blends them with black, green, and herbal teas. The mint tea blend combines dried peppermint with kelp to make an invigorating but uncaffeinated sipper, perfect for morning or night. Brewing Instructions: Steep 1 tsp of tea in boiling water for 4–10 minutes. Product Details: Size: 1.5 oz loose-leaf tea Ingredients: Peppermint & Kelp (Laminaria digitata) Made in the USA About Cup of Sea Cup of Sea creates soothing seaweed tea blends that combine the health benefits of Maine seaweed—rich in minerals, antioxidants, and omega oils—with the calming experience of tea. Founder Josh Rogers began Cup of Sea in 2017, blending small batches in Portland, Maine, inspired by his family's love of seaweed. Today, Cup of Sea is enjoyed across New England, and Josh continues his passion for seaweed at his Portland boutique, Heritage Seaweed. Featured in outlets like Martha Stewart, the New York Times, and Forbes, Cup of Sea brings the taste of Maine’s coast to tea lovers everywhere.
