Mint, specifically mentha arvensis

Stash stopped making Super Mint. It's the only mint my stomach tolerates for more than one cup. It also blends well with other teas and doesn't remind me of drinking toothpaste.

Anyone have suggestions for finding a new supplier? Please don't suggest growing it myself. I keep myself and dog alive. Plants are beyond me.

Shops that don't have it:
Smith Teamaker
The Steeping Room
The Path of Tea
Tea Source
Harney & Sons
The Spice & Tea Exchange
The Tea Spot
Tea Shop
The Art of Tea
DavidsTea

I have a feeling it might be a local tea shop that might stock it instead of big brand names.

Maybe alternatives that aren't peppermint or spearmint? Mint is such a huge family of plants.

For the short term, Amazon still has the Stash Super Mint in stock.

https://www.amazon.com/Stash-Tea-Super-Herbal-Count/dp/B00PVZQBD4/ref=asc_df_B00..., if you are iƱ the US.

I looked at that. The reviews for the seller say they send the wrong item. The seller has a 2.2 out of 5 rating.

I found a listing at etsy when I googled for "organic meadow mint herb". But I don't know Super Mint from Stash. It seems to be pure mint leaves?

Now you've made me curious, so I'll keep an eye open for it (i.e. mentha arvensis).

My favorite tea source is Alchemy and Herbs in Exeter NH. They have a lot of wonderful blends and do custom orders, and ship anywhere .
