Mint tea is an herbal tea that is appreciated around the world for its fresh aroma and soothing taste. Mint tea benefits are widely promoted, but not all of them are supported by scientific studies.Typically, mint tea is made from peppermint leaves. Peppermint (Mentha x piperita) is a hybrid, or a blend, of the spearmint plant and the water mint plant. The perennial peppermint plant has bright green leaves and can easily be grown in a variety of low light spaces (including an apartment) so it has become a popular plant to cultivate for food and beverages.If you're a fan of peppermint tea, then I have very good news for you: Menthol (a base element of peppermint) is said to be a natural stress-reliever, and as a result, peppermint tea can help reduce your blood pressure and overall body temperature, thus making you feel more relaxed.
