Cool, crisp, refreshing

Cooling teas to refresh and revive

There's something about mint that cuts through the day. A single cup can clear your head after a heavy meal, lift the afternoon slump, or simply feel like a moment of calm. This collection brings together our best cooling teas, from single-herb classics like Peppermint Tea and Spearmint Tea to more complex blends that layer mint with other ingredients.

The range covers different styles and tastes. Liquorice & Peppermint Tea adds natural sweetness without sugar. Moroccan Mint and Mint Bazaar Moroccan Tea pair mint with green tea for a gentle caffeine lift. For something more playful, Mint Choc Chip brings chocolate notes to a black tea base. Each one brews bright and clean, served hot or over ice.

These are teas for warm weather, post-dinner sipping, or whenever you want something light and refreshing. Most are caffeine-free herbals, though we have included a few green and black tea blends for those who want a bit of energy with their cool.

How to choose

01

Caffeine or caffeine-free

Pure herbals like Peppermint, Spearmint and Mint Mix contain no caffeine at all. For a gentle lift, choose Moroccan Mint or Mint Bazaar Moroccan Tea, both green tea based. Decaf Mint Choc Chip offers flavour without the buzz.

02

Sweet or straight

If you prefer natural sweetness, Liquorice & Peppermint Tea has a mellow liquorice finish. For a sharper taste, stick with single-herb Peppermint or Spearmint. Mint Choc Chip leans towards dessert territory.

03

Hot or iced

Every tea here works brilliantly cold brewed. Steep overnight in the fridge for a smooth, refreshing drink. Peppermint and Spearmint are particularly good over ice on a hot day.

Good questions

Things people ask us in the shop

Further reading

What makes a tea taste cooling?

Mint creates a cooling sensation because of menthol, which triggers cold receptors on the tongue and throat. It's a physical effect rather than actual temperature change. Peppermint has more menthol than spearmint, so it feels cooler.

Can I drink cooling tea hot?

Absolutely. Hot mint tea is traditional across North Africa and the Middle East. The cooling sensation still works, which is why it's popular in warm climates. The contrast of hot liquid and cool finish is surprisingly refreshing.

Which cooling tea is best for after meals?

Peppermint Tea is a classic choice for after dinner. It's caffeine-free, so it won't keep you awake, and the mint flavour works well as a palate cleanser. Spearmint is a gentler alternative.

Is spearmint or peppermint stronger?

Peppermint is bolder and more intense, with a sharper menthol bite. Spearmint is softer, slightly sweeter, and less assertive. If you find peppermint too powerful, spearmint is worth trying.

Can I cold brew mint tea?

Yes, and it's excellent. Add loose leaf to cold water and leave in the fridge for six to eight hours. Cold brewing brings out sweetness and reduces any bitter notes. Strain and serve over ice.
