About Sneeze Ease

The tea you inhale before you sip.

An aromatic herbal blend built around sharp eucalyptus and clean menthol-mint. Eucalyptus and peppermint carry bright volatile oils (eucalyptol, menthol) that fill the air with a vivid, green aroma the moment hot water hits the leaf. Nettle leaf brings a deep, grassy backbone with a long place in Western herb gardens. Echinacea adds an earthy, floral note from the purple coneflower. Holy basil, rosemary, and chamomile round the cup with herbaceous depth and a soft floral-mint finish.

Why the steam matters.

The volatile oils in eucalyptus and peppermint are aromatics, which means they lift into the air when heated. When you brew this tea hot, cup your hands around the rim and breathe deeply for 60 seconds before taking the first sip. It is a bright, clearing aroma experience: eucalyptol and menthol carried on the steam, green and alive. Brew it hot, inhale it first, sip it slow.

When to reach for it.

A bright morning cup. An afternoon reset at your desk. The end of a long day when you want something cooling and herbaceous rather than sweet. Brew it hot, breathe the steam, then sip. Cooling, clarifying, mentholated.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Sharp and mentholated. Eucalyptus leads, then peppermint, with a soft herbaceous undertone from the rosemary and holy basil. Bright and clearing, green and alive.

Flavor: Cooling and herbaceous. Peppermint opens the palate with a cold sensation. Eucalyptus follows with a clarifying, mentholated note. Chamomile softens the finish with a mild floral sweetness.

Finish: Clean and open, with a lingering menthol tingle.

Why You'll Love It

Nettle Leaf, the grassy backbone: Urtica dioica has a long place in Western herb gardens, where dried nettle leaf was steeped as tea since medieval times. It brings a deep, grassy, green flavor to the cup.

Eucalyptus, the aromatic note: Native to Australia, Eucalyptus globulus carries eucalyptol, the volatile compound behind its sharp, clearing aroma. Eucalyptus leaf has been part of traditional Australian plant lore for generations.

Peppermint, the cooling clarifier: The menthol in peppermint gives a cool, bright sensation on the palate. Peppermint has long appeared in herbal tea blends from European herb gardens to Ayurvedic tradition for its lively, cooling character.

Echinacea, the earthy floral: Purple coneflower (Echinacea purpurea) has a long history in both Indigenous North American plant traditions and Western herb gardens. It adds an earthy, faintly floral note to the blend.

Cool, crisp menthol, traditionally used to refresh and ease the stomach.

In the cup

Peppermint is a hybrid mint with an unusually high menthol content, the source of its cool, sharp taste. The menthol gives an instant cooling lift and a clean finish. It is valued for flavor and its long history as an after-meal cup. Much of the U.S. crop grows in the Willamette Valley.

In the cup

Holy basil, known as tulsi, is a revered plant in India, grown in courtyards and central to daily ritual.

Urtica dioica

A deep-green, mineral-rich leaf, a spring-tonic classic.

In the cup

Nettle is the same plant that stings in the wild, but dried and steeped it is completely tame and deeply nourishing. The cup is green and earthy, close to a vegetal broth. Rich in minerals, nettle has been a spring tonic across Europe and North America for centuries, and it grows abundantly in the Pacific Northwest.

Echinacea purpurea

A prairie wildflower, a longtime favorite at the first sign of sniffles.

In the cup

Echinacea is a purple coneflower native to the American Great Plains, used by Plains nations long before settlers arrived. The root and flower bring a mild, earthy, slightly tingly note. It became one of the most popular wellness-season herbs, traditionally brewed when the weather turns and a sniffle is going around.

Eucalyptus Leaf

Eucalyptus globulus

A cool, camphor-fresh leaf that opens up the senses.

In the cup

Eucalyptus is a tall Australian tree whose silvery leaves are rich in cooling, camphor-like oils. In tea it reads crisp and clean, the same fresh note you know from a steam room. A little brings a bright, breathe-deep quality to mint and wellness blends. Now grown around the Mediterranean too.

Rosemary Leaf

Salvia rosmarinus

A piney Mediterranean herb, long tied to memory and clarity.

In the cup

Rosemary is the fragrant, needle-like herb of the Mediterranean hillsides, as at home in tea as on the dinner table. The cup is piney, savory, and brisk, a green and resinous lift. Tied to memory and focus since antiquity, when students wore sprigs of it, rosemary brings a clarifying, garden-fresh note to a blend.

Chamomile Flowers

Matricaria chamomilla

Soft, apple-sweet flowers, traditionally sipped to unwind before bed.

In the cup

Chamomile is a small, daisy-like flower, dried and steeped whole into a gentle golden cup with a honeyed, faintly apple-like sweetness. It is one of the most beloved herbs in Western tradition, reached for as an evening tea for centuries to ease into the end of the day. The finest grows in Egypt's Nile Delta.

Craft Your Cup

A few notes from our teamakers.

The Steam Tent
Brew 2 heaping teaspoons in 12 ounces of full-boil water in a wide, shallow bowl. Drape a towel over your head and the bowl and breathe the steam for a few minutes. The eucalyptol aroma is more concentrated in the steam than in the cup. A cozy, old-fashioned ritual.

The Morning Ritual
Brew 1.5 teaspoons in 8 ounces of full-boil water for 6 minutes. Drink hot, first thing in the morning, for a bright, mentholated start to the day. A simple daily-cup habit.

Iced Mint Cooler
Cold-brew 2 teaspoons in 16 ounces of cold water for 8 hours in the fridge. Strain. Drink over ice with a squeeze of lemon. The menthol and eucalyptol stay bright and cooling, even cold, and the lemon adds a crisp citrus note for an easy all-day sipper.
