HERBAL TEA | Loose Leaf Peppermint
Peppermint Tea at a Glance
Our loose leaf peppermint is a caffeine-free herbal tea from Washington State, USA, made with one ingredient: peppermint leaves (Mentha piperita). It has a bright, cool, fresh menthol flavour that suits after dinner, afternoons and iced summer drinks. Each 50 g bag makes about 25 cups. It is vegan and vegetarian.
Peppermint Tea Tasting Notes
The first thing you'll notice is a sharp, clean peppermint aroma. It brews into a yellowish-green cup that is pungent, cool and fresh, with a real menthol bite. The finish is crisp and cooling. If you are used to very strong tea-bag mint, add a second teaspoon or steep a little longer.
Pairs With
Dark chocolate or a light dessert after dinner, or a tall glass of ice on a hot day.

A Little Mint Mythology
Ancient Greek legend says peppermint is named for the nymph Menthe. The god Pluto fell for her, and his jealous wife Persephone turned her into a plant. Pluto could not reverse the spell, but he gave Menthe the sweet, unforgettable aroma we all know.

How to Brew Peppermint Tea
- Tea: 1 heaping teaspoon of loose leaf tea per 8oz / 240 ml cup.
- Water temperature: 100°C / 212°F, a full rolling boil.
- Steep time: 3 to 5 minutes. Go 6 to 7 minutes for a stronger cup.
- Infuser: The leaf is cut fine, so use a fine-mesh infuser, like an infuser mug or one of our teapots.
- Serving: Enjoy it plain. It needs no milk, sugar or lemon.
- Iced: Use half the water (120 ml) when brewing. Pour the hot tea directly over a large cup filled with ice. As the ice melts, it will dilute the tea to the perfect strength.
