We've spent a long time thinking about bags.  While we think that loose will always be best, we know that it can sometimes be a bit of a faff.  So, we looked around for bags that give a result that's as close as you can get to loose leaf and then tried to get them so that they're biodegradable.  We think our new bags are great - you should give them a try.  Let us know if you like them.

Off the bags and onto spearmint... If you like peppermint tea you’ll probably like this one too – they are similar but different in the same way that peppermint and spearmint sweets are similar but different. Spearmint tea is said to leave the mouth and digestive system feeling clean and fresh.

Recent evidence suggests it may help with reducing excess body hair - see this bbc article. It is also used in the treatment of fevers, headaches and digestive disorders including indigestion. Although no records of toxicity have been seen for spearmint, very large quantities of some mints (especially in the form of essential oil) can cause abortion so some caution is advised in pregnancy.

For more information see this Plants for a Future entry.
