At Angie’s Gardens, we’re always looking for herbs that can truly make a difference in your daily life. One of our absolute go-to herbs is peppermint, and for good reason! Its cooling properties, versatility, and wide range of health benefits make it a perfect match for the ever-changing Texas seasons. Whether it’s fighting off a winter cold or providing relief from the summer heat, peppermint has you covered year-round.
Here’s why we love peppermint and why you’ll find it featured in many of our popular tea blends.
Peppermint: A Seasonal Superstar for Texans
Texas weather is as dynamic as it gets—sweltering summers, sudden cold snaps, and everything in between. Thankfully, peppermint’s unique properties make it an all-season ally:
- In the Summer: Peppermint’s natural cooling effect helps beat the heat. A refreshing glass of iced peppermint tea can provide relief from the relentless Texas sun while aiding digestion after a hearty barbecue.
- During Allergy Season: With Texas’s infamous allergy triggers, peppermint’s menthol content can help clear sinuses and ease respiratory discomfort.
- In the Winter: Peppermint’s antimicrobial properties and soothing effects make it a comforting choice for warding off cold and flu symptoms. A warm cup of peppermint tea is like a hug in a mug on chilly evenings.
