Green with Mint Ceylon Tea – Refreshingly Cool, Naturally Powerful
There are certain tea combinations that feel as though they were simply meant to be. Fine Ceylon green tea and cool peppermint is one of them. JC Tea’s Green with Mint Ceylon Tea brings these two natural powerhouses together in a beautifully balanced loose leaf blend — creating a cup that is fresh, aromatic, and alive with flavour from the very first sip.
The Perfect Pairing
At the heart of this blend is premium Ceylon green tea — sourced from the lush, high-elevation gardens of Sri Lanka, where clean mountain air and rich soil produce a leaf of exceptional purity and gentle character. To this, we add carefully dried peppermint leaves, whose natural menthol oils release a cool, sweet sharpness that lifts and brightens the green tea perfectly.
The result is a brew with a beautiful golden-green hue, a fresh and slightly sweet aroma, and a flavour that is at once smooth and invigorating — light enough to enjoy freely, yet distinctive enough to feel like a real treat.
A Tea for All Seasons
What makes this blend truly special is its remarkable versatility. Hot, it wraps around you like a warm, minty embrace — deeply comforting on cold Canadian winters, wonderful after a meal, or calming before bed. Cold, brewed over ice, it becomes one of the most refreshing drinks imaginable — crisp, clean, and revitalising on a hot summer day. Very few teas work this well in both directions.
Wellness in Every Cup
This is not just a great-tasting tea — it is also one of the most health-supportive blends in the JC Tea range. The combination of Ceylon green tea and peppermint delivers an impressive range of natural benefits:
- Aids digestion — peppermint is a well-established digestive soother, helping ease bloating, discomfort, and indigestion after meals
- Relieves IBS symptoms — peppermint has been studied for its ability to ease symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome
- Eases nausea — the natural menthol in peppermint is widely used to calm an unsettled stomach
- Supports metabolism — green tea’s natural compounds, including EGCG, are linked to healthy metabolic function
- Promotes mental alertness — the gentle caffeine in green tea, combined with L-theanine, creates calm, focused energy
- Relieves stress — the aromatic qualities of peppermint have a natural calming and mood-lifting effect
- Improves sleep quality — when brewed lightly, the relaxing properties of mint make this a wonderful evening wind-down
In the Cup
JC Tea’s Green with Mint Ceylon Tea brews to a clear, softly golden-green liquor with an immediately uplifting peppermint aroma. The first sip delivers cool, fresh mint that opens up into the smooth, lightly vegetal character of Ceylon green tea. The finish is clean and gently brisk — refreshing, never bitter, and completely satisfying. It is the kind of tea you reach for again and again throughout the day.
How to Enjoy It
This blend is wonderfully versatile in preparation. Enjoy it plain to appreciate the natural interplay of mint and green tea, or add a light drizzle of honey for a touch of sweetness that complements both flavours beautifully. For a refreshing iced version, simply brew a slightly stronger cup, allow it to cool briefly, and pour over a generous glass of ice — the result is a stunning, naturally flavoured cold drink that rivals any store-bought alternative.
