Scotch and Abram's Peppermint is pure peppermint leaves - nothing added, nothing blended in. No spearmint, no liquorice root, no other botanicals. Just peppermint at its most direct and most intense. Naturally caffeine free and long valued for its digestive properties, this is the after-dinner cup or the palate cleanser that needs no explanation. Bright, cooling, and intensely fresh with a smooth, refreshing finish. The menthol character builds cleanly through the sip and lingers in a way that feels genuinely invigorating rather than sharp. Works beautifully hot or iced - one of the rare teas that is as good cold as it is warm. How to brew the perfect cup Use freshly boiled water. Use one heaped teaspoon per cup. Steep for 3 to 5 minutes. Drink it without milk - the menthol comes through cleanest without it. How does it compare? Softer alternative: Clipper Peppermint and Spearmint Softer alternative: Bewley's Peppermint and Spearmint Sweeter alternative: London Fruit and Herb Sweet Peppermint Clipper and Bewley's both blend peppermint with spearmint for a softer, slightly sweeter cup - this is the more intense, pure peppermint option. London Fruit and Herb Sweet Peppermint adds liquorice root for a naturally sweeter, more rounded mint character if the intensity of pure peppermint feels too much.
