About “Meadow” (Mint) Tea
Since the early 18th century, large communities of Amish and Mennonite people have settled in Pennsylvania. Many of them are accomplished farmers and grow beneficial plants and herbs at home. Their traditions have flourished for centuries, and herbal teas, like “meadow” tea, are among them.
Meadow Tea is a unique drink that is named for the fact that it’s traditionally brewed with a type of mint that grows wild in meadows (and gardens) throughout Pennsylvania.
The Amish and Mennonites collect the fresh mint, typically spearmint or peppermint, and steep it for hours, sweeten it to taste, and serve it over ice. The tea is extremely popular in Lancaster County.
Clover Farms Icy Meadow Tea is all-natural, has no caffeine, and is an oh-so-refreshing drink throughout the year.
