This small batch of tea was personally crafted for you by Steven Smith, teamaker. It's beautifully simple, really. Just carefully chosen lots of freshly-harvested peppermint from our friends on the other side of Mt. Hood. About 35 years ago, Smith began working with farmers here in Oregon to introduce their peppermint tea to the world. Prior to that all we had was that Egyptian mint dust. Thanks, Steve. Or stop by www.smithtea.com.

It's a bit of inside knowledge that we're always happy to share. Cheers - Steve. The most uncommon name in tea. Since 1949. It's no secret that the world's best peppermint comes from Oregon. Gently hand-screened for perfect leaf size, it infuses a full, creamy flavor with distinct chocolate notes and an intense finish. A great after dinner treat or midday breath freshener. Congratulations. You finally got to the bottom of Smith. Please recycle. Thank you.
