薄荷

My stomach's been a mess all week so I've been having a cup of this every morning and it genuinely settles things down. The leaves are dry and crumbly but still smell strong and minty when I open the bag, and it doesn't turn bitter if I forget and let it sit.

Steeped a big pinch after a heavy dinner and the cooling hit is instant, way fresher than the bagged stuff from the grocery store. My stomach settles within about twenty minutes every time.

The leaves actually smell potent when I open the bag, not dusty like some dried herbs I've bought. I use it mostly for the respiratory side when I'm stuffed up, and a strong cup really does clear things out.
