Revered Pacific Northwest Peppermint Varietal Offering Cooling, Candy Cane-Like Sweetness USDA Non-GMO Certified by QAI Certified Kosher Flavor Story The Pacific Northwest peppermint variety is prized as the most aromatic, soothingly sweet and potent in the world. Rishi's pure peppermint is grown near wine regions like Yakima Valley, in microclimates that are perfectly suited for growing peppermint with a naturally sweet, rich flavor and euphoric, heady aroma. Taste True Tea We are driven by a mission to connect tea drinkers to the origins of our teas. For us, that is the essence of being a direct trade importer. Rishi's tea buyers travel the world every year, collaborating with artisan tea farmers during the peak growing seasons. This allows us to source teas and botanicals of an epicurean caliber, infusing everything we create with a signature quality and story. In that adventurous spirit, we invite you to Taste True Tea. Fuller Flavor | Deeper Aroma | Richer Body Introducing Our Novel Knit Tea Bag Unlike common paper tea bags—which strip away the flavor and aroma of tea—the Rishi tea bag features a novel knit material designed to provide a truer infusion of our teas and herbal ingredients. The result is an incredibly aromatic, full-bodied cup that tastes just as rich as loose leaf tea.
