Spearmint Peppermint Tea | 35gm

Chayam's Spearmint Peppermint Tea combines three ingredients: spearmint, peppermint, and green tea, each with distinct benefits. Spearmint is known for its anti-androgenic properties that support hormonal balance, particularly for women with PCOS, and its antioxidants support digestion and reduce inflammation. Peppermint is a powerful digestive aid that relaxes the muscles of the gastrointestinal tract, easing bloating, IBS symptoms, and nausea. It also has natural antimicrobial properties and freshens breath effectively. Green tea adds EGCG antioxidants that support metabolism, immunity, and cellular health. Together they make a genuinely multi-functional wellness tea.

Yes, this is spearmint's most well-researched benefit. Multiple clinical studies have found that regular spearmint tea consumption significantly reduces free testosterone levels in women with PCOS, which helps address symptoms like excess hair growth, irregular periods, and hormonal acne. The anti-androgenic effect works by inhibiting androgen receptors, not by eliminating androgens entirely. Two cups of spearmint tea daily is the amount used in most studies showing positive results. It works best as part of a broader approach to managing PCOS alongside medical guidance; it is not a standalone cure but a genuinely evidence-backed dietary addition.

Yes. Men produce androgens such as testosterone naturally and at healthy levels: spearmint's mild anti-androgenic effect does not reduce testosterone to problematic levels in men drinking normal amounts. There is no evidence that regular consumption of spearmint or peppermint tea has any negative hormonal effect in men. It is safe for daily consumption by anyone.

Very effectively, this is peppermint's strongest use case. Peppermint contains menthol, which relaxes the smooth muscle of the digestive tract and reduces spasms that cause bloating, cramping, and IBS symptoms. It speeds gastric emptying, which means food moves through the stomach more quickly. Spearmint adds complementary digestive support through its carminative properties. Drinking a cup after a heavy meal is one of the most reliable ways to ease post-meal discomfort.

Crisp, cool, and refreshing with a clean minty character that is bright without being sharp. The spearmint gives it a slightly sweet, delicate mint flavour, and the peppermint adds a stronger, more cooling menthol note. The green tea provides a smooth base that stops it tasting medicinal. It is one of the most palate-cleansing teas in Chayam's range, ideal after meals, after coffee, or any time you want a fresh start. Served over ice with a squeeze of lemon it becomes an exceptional iced tea.

After meals is the most natural time, the digestive benefits of both mints work best when there is food in the stomach to act on. Mid-afternoon is another strong option when you want refreshment without caffeine from coffee. The green tea base provides a small amount of caffeine, so it is best avoided immediately before bed. It also works well as a breath-freshening drink after garlic- or onion-heavy meals, the menthol is genuinely effective.

Our spearmint-peppermint tea contains a moderate amount from the green tea (roughly 20 to 30mg per cup). The spearmint and peppermint are caffeine-free, so the caffeine level is lower than a standard green tea cup because the mint dilutes the proportion of tea leaves. It is comfortable to drink through the morning and afternoon. For a completely caffeine-free mint option, Chayam's herbal range is worth exploring, though you lose the antioxidant benefits of the green tea base.

Most mint teas use a single variety of mint, usually either spearmint or peppermint alone. Chayam combines both spearmint and peppermint as well as green tea, which gives a more layered flavour and broader wellness benefit than either mint achieves on its own. Spearmint's gentle sweetness balances peppermint's sharper menthol intensity, and the green tea adds depth and antioxidants. The whole loose leaves are visible in the tin, real spearmint and peppermint, not flavouring or extract.
