The Willamette Valley in Oregon is one of the world’s great peppermint-growing regions — the volcanic soil, the temperate climate and the long summer daylight produce a peppermint leaf that’s consistently sharp, clean and high in essential-oil content. American peppermint from Willamette is the leaf that ends up in most quality tea-shelf peppermints, and what Sampson sells here is the leaf alone. Mentha × piperita — the European hybrid that became the world’s standard peppermint — is the after-dinner cup of choice across Mediterranean and North African tradition. The Sampson cut is whole leaf rather than fines, so the cup brews a clean, sharp, cooling green that doesn’t cloud the cup or go bitter on a long steep. 🌿 Pure Peppermint Single ingredient — whole-leaf, not fines ❄️ Sharp & Cooling High essential-oil content from Willamette soil ☕ Caffeine-Free Drinks well after dinner or any time ✨ The Sampson Promise We only put ingredients in our products that we would use on our own family. Every ingredient has a purpose. If it doesn’t need to be there, it isn’t. Type Single-Herb Infusion Caffeine None Best Time After meals Format Loose Leaf Steep Time 5–7 min Servings ~25 cups (50g) Tasting Notes ❄️ Sharp Cooling Top Aroma The aroma is the menthol top of fresh-cracked peppermint — clean, sharp, slightly camphor-edged. The smell of crushed leaf in a kitchen, not a candy aisle. 🌿 Bright Green Body Body The cup brews pale-green and structured. Whole-leaf cut means the body is cleaner than tea-bag peppermint — there’s body, not just flavour, and the menthol comes through gradually rather than all at once. ✨ Long Cool Finish Aftertaste Closes with a long cooling aftertaste that hangs on the palate longer than most teas — the same after-meal effect that makes peppermint the universal end-of-dinner cup across so many traditions. How to Brew 01 Measure One heaped teaspoon (about 1.5–2g) per 8oz cup. Peppermint is voluminous — a heaped scoop fills the cup properly. 02 Heat the Water Bring water to a full boil — 100°C / 212°F. Mint leaves need real heat to release the menthol; they’re forgiving on temperature. 03 Steep 5–7 Minutes Cover the cup — keeps the volatile menthol in the brew. Five for a softer cup, seven for full cooling body. Won’t go bitter even on a long steep. Water 100°C Time 5–7 min Per Cup 1 heaped tsp Try the Moroccan-style preparation — brew strong, sweeten heavily with sugar while hot, then pour from height into a small glass. Or simply drink it after dinner the way it’s been drunk for centuries: plain, hot, in a small cup. About the Tea 🌿 Willamette Peppermint The Whole Cup Mentha × piperita grown in the Willamette Valley of Oregon — one of the world’s premier peppermint regions thanks to its volcanic soil, temperate climate and long summer days. The leaf consistently runs higher in essential-oil content than peppermint from less ideal climates. ❄️ Whole-Leaf Cut The Process Cut whole-leaf rather than sifted to fines. Whole-leaf brews a cleaner cup with more body and more characterful menthol, and re-steeps once or twice without going thin or bitter. ☕ After-Dinner Standard The Tradition Peppermint after meals is the universal kitchen-tradition cup — Mediterranean, North African, Eastern European, North American. Sampson’s version is the leaf alone, the way the tradition has always brewed it. In the tin Peppermint leaf (Mentha × piperita) from the Willamette Valley, Oregon. Origin & Sourcing Pure Willamette Valley peppermint — single ingredient, no blend. Mentha × piperita grown in the volcanic-soil Oregon valley that produces some of the world’s most consistently characterful peppermint. Caffeine-free, naturally gluten-free, packed in small batches for the Sampson shelf. Show more
