Is it good? The answer is a resounding yes, but even so, perhaps we should do a quick literary and historical consultation to confirm. We begin with mint:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAh Mint!

So, his mother, being the wise woman she was prepared some camomile tea and ‰ÛÏgave a dose of it to Peter. One Table-spoonful to be taken at bedtime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo - is it good? We'll take that as a yes. Historically speaking, Camomile, scientifically known as \u003cem\u003ematricaria\u003c\/em\u003e and Mint, \u003cem\u003ementha,\u003c\/em\u003e have both long been regarded as health giving herbs. How long? We turn again to literature. In 1629, a man named John Parkinson wrote a book entitled \u003cem\u003eA Garden of Pleasant Flowers\u003c\/em\u003e in which he states, \"Camomile is put to diverse and sundry uses, both for pleasure and profit, both for inward and outward diseases, both for the sick and the sound.\" Stretching even farther back, it is believed by some that mint was one of the herbs commonly prescribed by Merlin the Magician, back in the court of King Arthur to alleviate stomach ailments and aid in digestion. Whatever the case may be, literary or historical, we can tell you that as a soothing, before-bed beverage, Organic Sleepy Mint is a blend people will be writing about for centuries to come. The Camomile will calm you and the mint will stimulate beautiful dreams - enjoy!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTea Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Organic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Egypt, USA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nile River Delta, Washington State\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full flower\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAltitude:\u003c\/strong\u003e below 500 feet, 2500' -4500' ft. above sea level\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Field grown, sundried, machine milled\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Luxury organic camomile, luxury organic peppermint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCup Characteristics: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSweet crabapple notes from March camomile are enlivened with mouth-feel peppermint.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInfusion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pale yellow tending light green.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab3\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrewing Hot\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBring freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil.
