Alpine Mint Refill, triple-fresh mountain mint
The Alpine Mint refill bag is the large pack of the refreshing mint tea from the South Tyrolean Herb Rebels, containing 60 g of three mint varieties and cornflower. For refilling your tea tin, more cost-effective than the small tin.
Alpine Mint as a refill is the bag for the refreshing mint tea from the South Tyrolean Herb Rebels, with 60 g instead of 20 g. Peppermint, spearmint, and apple mint meet blue cornflower to create a lively, cool infusion from the Vinschgau valley. This is how you refill your tea tin without buying a new one. It is rare to find three types of mint in a single blend.
Three mints and a blue blossom
Peppermint provides clear sharpness, spearmint a mild roundness, and apple mint a fruity trace, while the cornflower glows blue among the leaves. Apple mint is the rarest among them, delicate and slightly sweet.
In the infusion, Alpine Mint turns light green and smells spicy, fresh, and fruity. A mint tea with character that wakes you up in the morning and cleanses the palate after a meal; not a bland tea bag from a supermarket shelf. It is clearest enjoyed pure, hot on cool days and iced on warm days, completely without added sweetness. "Keep it easy," as Lorenz and Leander like to describe their Alpine Mint, and that is exactly how easily it drinks.
One bag instead of a new tin
The refill bag contains 60 g of loose herbs, three times as much as the 20 g tin, saving you both packaging and a few euros. That’s enough for many pots before you need to buy more.
You simply pour the contents into your beautiful tin and have enough for many cups of herbal tea at home—very practical. You won't collect half-empty tins; you'll just refill when necessary. If you love mint, you drink it often, making the large bag doubly worthwhile. The small tin for gifting is still available as Alpine Mint in a tea tin.
How to prepare Alpine Mint
Use about one teaspoon, around 1 g of loose herbs per cup, and pour boiling water at 100 °C over them. If you like it stronger, just use two spoons.
Cover and let steep for 5 to 8 minutes, then strain and enjoy warm so that the essential oils stay in the cup. The prepared infusion should not stand for longer than 3 to 4 hours. In summer, Alpine Mint also tastes good cold; brewed overnight and served with ice cubes, it becomes a clear, cool mint iced tea. A cup is also a great little refresher after a heavy meal.
Lorenz and Leander from Vinschgau
Lorenz and Leander are two qualified herb farmers who harvest their mint at altitudes of 900 to 1400 m in the Vinschgau valley, within the Stilfserjoch National Park. Hardly any herb grows higher than that.
The herbs are picked at the "balsamic moment" when the plants, having grown slowly in pure mountain air, carry the most aroma. They are hand-picked, dried in their own facility, and packaged with the Lebenshilfe Vinschgau organization. Three small mountain farms participate, and seven herbal blends have been created this way. You can find more of them in the South Tyrolean Herb Rebels assortment, such as the Pure Mountain Air in a tea bag. Every single one of their blends comes from this mountain land. Freshness from Vinschgau, bag by bag. Much respect.
