Mint: The Heart of Every Merifemme Blend
At Merifemme, every tea begins with mint, not just for its flavor, but for what it represents: clarity, freshness, and calm. We blend two types of mint in all our creations: Mentha spicata (spearmint) and Peppermint. Together, they form a refreshing foundation that supports the body and nurtures the soul.
Mentha spicata – Spearmint
Gentle. Grounding. Restorative.
Spearmint is a classic in herbal traditions, it is soft, slightly sweet, and wonderfully soothing. Unlike its sharper counterpart peppermint, spearmint offers a more delicate flavor that doesn’t overpower the other herbs in your cup. It’s known for supporting digestion, easing tension, and promoting emotional balance, which is why it’s often recommended for women navigating hormonal changes.
In Merifemme blends, spearmint brings a sense of softness and calm creating the perfect starting point for any grounding ritual.
Peppermint
Crisp. Clean. Uplifting.
Peppermint brings a cooler, brighter edge to our tea. Grown in colder climates, it develops a high content of essential oils, giving it a crisp and refreshing flavour with a naturally cooling finish. It adds a subtle energy like a breath of fresh air for the senses.
We love using Peppermint for the way it lifts a blend without overpowering it. It clears the mind, refreshes the body, and pairs beautifully with both florals and citrus.
Why We Use Both
The combination of Spearmint and Peppermint reflects what Merifemme is all about: balance. Spearmint comforts. Peppermint refreshes. One grounds you, the other uplifts you. Together, they create a base that’s fresh, feminine, and full of life. Just like the women we blend for.
