The Reset Button That Tastes Like a Porch in June
No cocktail shaker required. No occasion necessary. Just you, a mug (or a mason jar, we don't judge), and the kind of mint-and-citrus combo that makes your brain go "okay, we're good."
Mint Julep Artisan Tea takes the vibe of the classic Southern cocktail—that cool, sweet, slightly fancy feeling—and makes it something you can drink on a Tuesday at 2pm without anyone raising an eyebrow.
☕ What's in Your Cup
Spearmint and peppermint do the heavy lifting here—cooling, bright, and unapologetically minty. Green tea gives you a calm, moderate caffeine lift (not a shaky-hands situation, just a gentle nudge). Lemongrass and lemon verbena bring the zip. Apple and orange pieces add a little sweetness. Lavender, marigold, and cornflower petals make it look like something straight out of a garden party—and taste like one too.
Oh, and there's a splash of natural bourbon flavor. Non-alcoholic. All the charm, zero regrets.

📋 Steeping Cheat Sheet
How much: 1–2 teaspoons per 8 oz of water. Start with 1 tsp if you like it lighter, 2 tsp if you want it to taste like you mean it.
Water temp: 180°F (82°C). That's just-before-boiling. If you don't have a thermometer, boil it and let it sit for 60–90 seconds. Done.
Steep time: 2–3 minutes. Don't go longer or the green tea gets bitter and sulky.
No fancy equipment needed. A mug with a built-in strainer, a loose leaf infuser, or even a small strainer over your cup all work perfectly fine.
🧊 Hot vs. Iced
Hot: Steep as directed above. Add a squeeze of lemon or a drizzle of honey if you're feeling it. Drink it while it's warm and pretend you have nowhere to be for five minutes.
Iced (Cold Brew Method): Use 2 teaspoons per cup of cold water. Toss it in the fridge for 6–8 hours. Pour over ice. Add a mint sprig if you're being extra, skip it if you're not.
Mason Jar Method: Make it iced, pour it into a mason jar, and call it a day. It looks like you tried. You barely had to.
Pro tip: Make a big batch of the cold brew and keep it in the fridge for the week. Future you will say thank you.
❓ FAQ
Is there actual bourbon in this?
Nope. It's natural bourbon flavor—so you get that warm, smooth sweetness without any alcohol. Sip-all-day friendly.
Will the green tea make me jittery?
Unlikely. Green tea has a moderate, gentler caffeine lift compared to coffee. It's more "quietly capable" than "bouncing off the walls."
Can I add sweetener?
Absolutely. The granulated honey in the blend adds a soft sweetness, but if you want more, go for it. No one's watching.
What if I oversteep it?
It'll get a little bitter. Next cup, pull it at 3 minutes and you're golden. Green tea is forgiving as long as you don't push it.
Is this good for someone who doesn't usually like tea?
If you like mint and citrus, yes. This tastes less like "tea" and more like a fancy drink you'd order somewhere and then try to recreate at home. Which is what you're doing. Good call.
