English mint was once famous as the best in the world: the French still call peppermint menthe anglaise, or English mint. A shift to intensive food production during the 20th century meant that cultivation died out—until Summerdown Mint revived it. Peppermint tea is valued for its digestive and calming properties, and this is one of the best. Summerdown English peppermint tea is made with pure Black Mitcham mint leaves, dried and infused with essential oil from Summerdown's own distillery. Fresh, aromatic and bright, this is mint as your great-grandparents knew it—very different from harsher blended and imported mint of the past 60 years. Brew a cup or a pot—you'll understand why this tea won gold in Europe's prestigious Great Taste Awards. Each box contains 15 biodegradable, pyramid-shaped tea bags.
