Spearmint rather than peppermint, which matters: spearmint is sweeter and rounder, and it cools the cup without the sharp menthol bite. Blended into green tea it makes the most refreshing thing in this range — particularly after a heavy or spiced meal, and particularly over ice in a Gujarat summer.

Cool and sweet spearmint over a light green tea base, with a clean, refreshing finish.
