Celebrate Summer with USA-Grown Peppermint Teas
As fireworks light up the skies and families gather across the country this July, there's no better time to enjoy a refreshing, homegrown beverage. Honor America with a sip of something truly patriotic: peppermint herbal tea grown right here in the United States.
At The Republic of Tea, we proudly offer Organic American Peppermint SuperHerb® Herbs Of Origin Tea and Organic Mint Fields Tea — two invigorating infusions with peppermint sourced from the fertile fields of Trout Lake Farms in Washington state.
The American Origins of Peppermint Herbal Tea
Peppermint, a naturally occurring hybrid of spearmint and water mint, thrives in temperate climates with rich soil and abundant sunshine. Trout Lake Valley, nestled in the shadow of Mount Adams, offers precisely this environment. With mineral-rich volcanic soil and pristine mountain waters, it’s one of the finest peppermint-growing regions in the world.
Trout Lake Farms, certified organic for over 40 years, practices sustainable agriculture that results in premium quality mint. Each leaf is cultivated, harvested, and dried with care to preserve its cool, crisp flavor and aromatic intensity.
A Closer Look: Organic American Peppermint
Our Organic American Peppermint SuperHerb® Herbs Of Origin Tea is a robust, full-bodied herbal infusion crafted from pure peppermint leaves. Grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, this tea embodies the clean, vibrant spirit of the land from which it hails.
Each cup delivers a brisk, cool sensation — perfect for cooling off on a warm July afternoon. Peppermint is naturally caffeine-free, making it a great choice for all ages during July 4th festivities. Serve it hot to soothe digestion* after a barbecue feast, or brew it over ice for a chilling refreshment that pairs beautifully with fruit salads and lemonades.
Key Benefits:
- 100% organic USA-grown peppermint
- May sooth the digestive system*
- Naturally caffeine-free
- Crisp, refreshing mint flavor
Organic Mint Fields: A Journey Through American Soil
Organic Mint Fields Tea is another standout tea, celebrated for its elegant, subtle profile. The base tea, like its counterpart, hails from Pacific Northwest but offers a slightly gentler taste, making it ideal for relaxing summer evenings or mixing with sparkling water for a botanical mocktail.
This tea invites you to take a metaphorical stroll through rows of dewy green mint under a rising summer sun. With every sip, you taste the cool whisper of American mountain breezes and the dedication of the farmers who tend the mint from seed to harvest.
Perfect Pairings for July 4th:
- Serve Mint Fields chilled with cucumber slices
- Blend with honey and lemon for a natural cooler
- Combine with berries for a festive red-white-blue iced tea
Is This Tea Grown in the US? Yes—and It’s Worth Celebrating
Many tea drinkers are surprised to learn that not all tea is imported. While traditional Camellia sinensis (black, green, and oolong tea) is primarily grown in Asia, herbal infusions like peppermint thrive in the United States.
Our peppermint teas are part of a broader movement to bring more American-grown botanicals into the spotlight. Supporting USA-sourced teas not only reduces the carbon footprint but also supports small farming communities and reinforces the quality and transparency that domestic agriculture can offer.
When you choose Organic American Peppermint or Organic Mint Fields, you're not just enjoying a delicious beverage — you’re making a statement of support for American agriculture.
Your Summer Tea Tradition Starts Here
Whether you’re hosting a backyard picnic, watching fireworks, or enjoying a quiet moment of reflection, a glass of peppermint tea can be the perfect companion for summer activities. It’s cool, crisp taste is both soothing and invigorating — a true toast to freedom and freshness.
Make peppermint tea your go-to tea this year. Brew a pitcher, raise your glass, and sip to the spirit of independence — with ingredients born on American soil.
