What’s in Starbucks Mint Majesty Tea?
Starbucks’ Mint Majesty tea is a caffeine-free herbal infusion made with two kinds of mint—spearmint and peppermint—plus a touch of lemon verbena. It’s known for being crisp, light, and refreshing without any added sugar or artificial flavorings.
This makes it an excellent option for folks wanting to unwind without caffeine, enjoy a clear minty flavor, or just sip something soothing and cozy throughout the day.
The Herbal Benefits
Spearmint – Softer and sweeter than peppermint, spearmint is known for supporting digestion and calming occasional stomach upset. Its gentle, cooling nature makes it a favorite for children and those who find peppermint too strong. Spearmint also has a refreshing aroma that can help lift mood and ease tension.
Peppermint – Bold and invigorating, peppermint is often used to soothe headaches, clear sinuses, and support healthy digestion. Its menthol content brings that familiar cooling sensation, making it both refreshing and clarifying. A cup of peppermint tea can feel like a deep breath of fresh air.
Lemon Verbena – Lightly citrusy and floral, lemon verbena is often brewed for relaxation. Traditionally, it has been used to calm nerves, support restful sleep, and aid in gentle digestion. Its bright flavor balances the mint while adding a touch of sunshine to the cup.
Together, these three herbs create a caffeine-free blend that not only tastes refreshing but also nurtures the body and calms the mind—making Mint Majesty more than just a cozy drink.You might say its a little hug in a cup!
