About Slim Mint

The savory-mint blend built for steady energy and the fasting window.

Yerba mate from Brazil, hojicha and green tea from Japan, spearmint, fennel, sage, and rosemary. The caffeine from the mate and green tea provides a sustained, focused lift without the coffee jitters. The spearmint-fennel-sage combination reads as savory-sweet in the cup, a flavor profile that resets the palate and quiets the craving for something sweet. Dandelion and nettle round it out with an earthy, mineral depth. The cup tastes substantial enough to bridge the gap between meals.

Why the savory-mint profile works.

Most mint teas lean sweet and dessert-like. This one leans savory, with the rosemary and sage adding an herbaceous backbone that makes the mint read more like a tonic than a treat. The fennel brings a natural sweetness without sugar, the kind that satisfies the mouth without spiking insulin. The bitterness of dandelion and the grassy-mineral notes of nettle anchor the cup in the herbal tradition of digestive bitters, the category of herbs Western herbalism has used for centuries to stimulate the digestive system and reduce bloating. The savory profile resets the palate, which is why so many customers reach for this tea when the 3 PM sugar craving hits.

The dual-caffeine base.

Yerba mate delivers a clean, sustained energy that comes from a combination of caffeine, theobromine, and theophylline. Green tea adds L-theanine, the amino acid that promotes focused calm and smooths the caffeine edge. Together, they provide a steady lift that lasts 4 to 6 hours without the crash. The hojicha, a roasted Japanese green tea made from stems and leaves, adds a toasted-grain sweetness and drops the overall caffeine just slightly, creating a balanced, metabolic-support blend that tastes like something you'd drink for pleasure, not discipline.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Fresh spearmint with an herbaceous backbone. The rosemary and sage add a savory depth, while the hojicha contributes a toasted-grain sweetness.

In the cup: Cooling and refreshing up front. The spearmint leads, followed by the earthy, slightly bitter notes of dandelion and nettle. The fennel brings a natural sweetness that rounds the finish.

Finish: Clean and palate-cleansing. The sage and rosemary linger with an herbaceous warmth. The hojicha adds a soft, toasted note that holds the cup together.

Iced: Cold-brewed, this tea drinks like a savory, minty tonic. The bitterness softens, the mint brightens, and the fennel sweetness comes forward. The perfect fasting-window sipper on a hot afternoon.

Why You'll Love It

Yerba Mate, the South American metabolic staple: Ilex paraguariensis has been the social and functional beverage of Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay for centuries. Traditionally consumed from a gourd with a metal straw, mate provides a clean, sustained energy that comes from caffeine, theobromine (the compound in cacao), and theophylline (a bronchodilator). The combination supports physical stamina and mental focus without the jittery spike of coffee.

Green Tea and L-Theanine: Japanese green tea contributes L-theanine, the amino acid that promotes alpha-wave brain activity and creates a state of focused calm. L-theanine also modulates the caffeine response, which is why green tea delivers a smoother, more sustained energy than coffee.

Digestive Bitters: Dandelion leaf and fennel seed belong to the category Western herbalism calls bitters. Bitter compounds stimulate the vagus nerve and trigger the release of digestive enzymes, which is why bitter herbs have been consumed before or after meals across European, Mediterranean, and Ayurvedic traditions for centuries. The bitter flavor signals the digestive system to wake up.

The Fasting Window: Zero calories, no sugar, substantial flavor. The savory-mint profile satisfies the mouth without breaking a fast, which is why this tea has become a go-to for intermittent fasting practitioners. The 10 AM to 1 PM window, the 3 PM vending-machine moment, the last hour before dinner: the times when fasting gets hard, this tea makes easier.

Your Questions About Slim Mint, Answered.

Does this tea support weight loss?

This tea is a functional tool, not a magic pill. The caffeine from yerba mate and green tea has been studied for its role in thermogenesis, the process by which the body generates heat and burns calories. The savory-mint profile helps curb sugar cravings by satisfying the palate without spiking insulin. It makes it easier to stick to healthy eating patterns, which is where real, sustained weight management happens. If you are looking for medical guidance on weight loss, consult a qualified healthcare practitioner.

How much caffeine does this tea contain?

High caffeine. The blend contains both yerba mate and green tea, which together deliver roughly 60 to 80 milligrams of caffeine per 8-ounce cup, depending on steep time. For reference, an 8-ounce cup of coffee contains 95 to 165 milligrams. The energy from this tea is sustained and smooth, thanks to the L-theanine in the green tea, which modulates the caffeine response. Not recommended within 6 hours of bedtime.

Can I drink this tea during a fast?

Yes. This tea contains zero calories and no sweeteners, which means it will not break a fast. The savory-mint flavor is substantial enough to satisfy the mouth and quiet cravings, which is why so many intermittent fasting practitioners use this tea to bridge the gap between meals. The caffeine also provides steady energy during the fasting window, which helps with focus and stamina.
