Tea Collection: Peppermint

Peppermint tea is the cool breath of the herbal world — a cup that clears the fog in the mind, resets the senses, and brings a brightness that feels almost electric. Long before you take a sip, the aroma rises: crisp, clean, unmistakably minty, like a fresh breeze across a field. The first taste is refreshing and lively, and the finish is cooling, smooth, and surprisingly sweet.

Despite its simplicity, peppermint tea carries presence. It is the tea people instinctively reach for when they need clarity, comfort, or a gentle lift without caffeine. There is something timeless about it — an herbal infusion that feels both ancient and modern, medicinal and indulgent, awakening and calming all at once.

Peppermint is not subtle. It is confident in its purity.

The Tasting Gallery

Peppermint tea offers a sensory experience unlike any other herbal brew. The first sip begins with a lively cooling note — not sharp, but vibrant and expansive — that spreads across the palate and behind the nose. As the flavour settles, the herbal body unfolds: grassy, crisp, and lightly sweet.

The texture is smooth, even silky, with a finish that feels both clean and restorative. Peppermint performs beautifully in hot water, where the steam amplifies its aromatics, but it is just as remarkable chilled. Ice transforms peppermint into a revitalising drink — something like a natural tonic, bright enough to replace a mid-afternoon coffee and refreshing enough to serve after a heavy meal.

Peppermint is an experience of clarity.
Every sip feels like a reset.

Good to Know

Peppermint tea thrives in 95–100°C water.
A 5–7 minute steep brings out the full spectrum of mint oils, releasing maximum aroma and flavour.

Longer steeps deepen the herbal intensity without adding bitterness, making peppermint one of the few infusions that can sit in the pot indefinitely.

For iced peppermint:
Use slightly more leaf to preserve the cooling strength once chilled, or steep hot and pour directly over ice for a sharper, brighter finish.

Peppermint also blends beautifully with chamomile, lemon peel, ginger, rose, and lavender — each combination creating an entirely new mood.

Where It Comes From

Peppermint is believed to have first been cultivated in Europe and the Middle East, though wild mint species have grown across the world for thousands of years. Ancient Greece, Rome, and Egypt all documented mint’s use for medicine, perfumes, and rituals. Over time, peppermint became the preferred cultivated hybrid because of its stronger menthol content and crisp flavour.

Today, peppermint farms thrive in regions with cool nights and bright days — particularly in the United States, Morocco, and parts of Europe. It remains one of the most widely enjoyed herbal infusions globally, valued not only for its taste but for the sense of clarity and lightness it brings.

Peppermint is more than an herbal drink.
It is a breath of fresh air in a cup.
