Why you'll love our peppermint infusion
Clean, cool and refreshing: a classic herbal tea for any time of day.
Our story
A very British mint
Peppermint has a surprisingly British story. It's a natural hybrid of two other mints, watermint and spearmint, and it was first identified in Hertfordshire, England, in the late 17th century.
The discovery
The naturalist John Ray published the discovery in 1696, and the plant was later given its botanical name, Mentha × piperita.
The menthol
What makes peppermint so distinctive is menthol, a natural compound in its leaves. Menthol is what gives a cup of peppermint tea its clean, cool sensation, quite different from the sweeter, softer flavour of spearmint, the mint more often used in cooking.
A British favourite
Today peppermint is one of the best-loved herbal teas in Britain, the cup many people reach for after a meal or late in the evening. Simply cut and dried, the leaves need nothing more than freshly boiled water and a few minutes to brew.
After dinner
For a little after-dinner indulgence, pair a cup with something chocolatey. The cool, clean flavour of peppermint is a natural partner for dark chocolate, so try it alongside a piece from our chocolate collection for a simple, satisfying end to the evening.
