HOW TO USE Cool, sweet, and gently bright, organic spearmint is a caffeine-free, loose-leaf bulk herb made for your daily ritual. 2oz brews approximately 15 to 20 cups of loose-leaf herbal tea. Steep one to two teaspoons in 8oz of just-boiled water for 5 to 7 minutes, covered, to preserve the volatile oils. Spearmint is significantly milder and sweeter than peppermint; it contains far less menthol, giving it a softer, more rounded mint character. It pairs beautifully with nettle, raspberry leaf, or rose petals for a menstrual wellness blend, or with ginger and lemon for a bright digestive tea. Organic spearmint has been used across European, Middle Eastern, and Ayurvedic traditions for centuries as a cooling digestive herb. Sourced by Kendra, founder and herbalist of The Herbal Scoop, our bulk spearmint is organic, sourced from a certified organic, kosher-certified supplier, and sold in small batches from our herbal tea shop in Narrowsburg, NY, so you always get the freshest, most aromatic spearmint available. Cool, sweet, and gently purposeful, two randomized controlled trials have looked specifically at spearmint tea's effect on androgen levels in females, making it one of the more research-grounded botanicals for hormonal wellness.

Our herbalist-curated bulk spearmint supports: Hormonal balance and androgen wellness in women, particularly for those managing hormonal acne or irregular cycles Digestive comfort and ease from occasional bloating and nausea A cooling, refreshing daily wellness ritual Skin clarity as part of an ongoing hormonal wellness routine ABOUT THIS HERB Spearmint (Mentha spicata): Spearmint's distinction from peppermint is meaningful: it contains approximately 0.5% menthol compared to peppermint's 40%, and its primary active compound is carvone, which researchers believe inhibits the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase involved in converting testosterone to the more potent androgen DHT. Two small randomized controlled trials in females with elevated androgens found that drinking two cups of spearmint tea daily for 30 days was associated with significant reductions in free and total testosterone levels. Researchers describe the evidence as promising but still limited, and note that both studies were small, calling for larger trials. Important: Because spearmint may influence androgen and hormone levels, those with hormone-sensitive conditions or who take hormone-modulating medications should consult their healthcare provider before regular use. Not recommended in large amounts during pregnancy. Safe in normal culinary amounts for most people.
