The story

Why loose leaf makes the difference

Open the bag and you notice it straight away: that rush of menthol you remember from proper mint imperials. These are whole, bright peppermint leaves with their oils still intact, not the crushed dust that ends up in most supermarket tea bags. The result is a cleaner, fuller cup that actually tastes like peppermint rather than a vague suggestion of it.

Peppermint is a natural hybrid of spearmint and water mint, and it has been brewed for centuries. The infusion is pale gold, light bodied and seriously refreshing. There is no bitterness, no astringency, just that unmistakable cool tingle on the tongue and a smooth finish that lingers without overstaying its welcome.

It is a natural choice after a big meal or between courses when you want something light but flavourful. Equally good iced on a warm afternoon, or just because the kettle is on and you fancy a break.

Good questions

Things people ask us in the shop

Does peppermint tea contain caffeine?

No. Peppermint is naturally caffeine-free, so you can drink it any time of day or night without worrying about it keeping you awake.

Should I add milk?

Best without. Milk dulls the fresh menthol character. If you want a creamier herbal cup, try something like rooibos instead.

How many cups will I get from each size?

At roughly 1.5g per cup, a 50g pouch makes about 33 cups. The 250g bag stretches to around 165 cups, plenty for a household of mint fans.

Can I brew it more than once?

You can get a lighter second steep, but most of the flavour comes out in the first brew. Add an extra minute if you try a second round.

How should I store it?

Keep it sealed, cool and dry, away from heat, sunlight and strong aromas. A cupboard away from the hob is ideal.

    Excellent Stuff...

    This loose peppermint tea is infinitely superior to my usual peppermint tea bags. Not only in taste but in the efficacy of its easing digestion after a meal.

    Great quality

    I drink peppermint tea to sooth the discomfort after meal, eg bloating in the stomach and intestine. Had been drinking the popular 'T' brand which helps mildly. The tea from Porter Hill is of higher quality. It solves my bloating problem. The delivery is quick and came in good packing. Will definitely re-order from Porter Hill and may probably order the dandelion detox as well after trying the sample. Love them!

    Peppermint tea

    Now this proper peppermint tea! Not crumbled to fine dust like other loose teas I have bought. It smells amazing and tastes great. Plus the sample of mint choc was very well received.. it's so good I bought more.. and my teenage son who smelled it and said ' hmm smells a bit weird', told me it was absolutely lovely after having a cup..
