Peppermint is the ultimate crowd-pleaser that simply never goes out of style. Whether you are running a high-street café or a hotel lounge, this all-day favourite is an absolute menu staple.
Sourced from prime fields in Washington State, this premium second-cut whole leaf is naturally packed with crisp menthol oils. It brews into a vibrant yellowish-green cup with an incredibly fresh aroma and a cool, clean finish that needs no extra ingredients to shine.
Naturally caffeine-free, Peppermint can be served throughout the day as a comforting hot classic post-dinner digestif, or as an iced tea, brew at double-strength and pour over ice for a refreshing summer drink.

  Health Benefits

  • Gastrointestinal Support: Peppermint leaves contain high concentrations of natural essential oils that help soothe the digestive tract. Clinical meta-analyses indicate that the primary active compounds in peppermint are highly effective at reducing abdominal discomfort and regulating smooth muscle contractions within the digestive system.[1]
  • Neurological Comfort: The prominent menthol components within premium peppermint act as a natural muscle relaxant and circulatory stimulant. Controlled clinical trials demonstrate that these volatile elements help alleviate tension-related headaches and stress by lowering peripheral vascular pressure when inhaled or consumed hot.[2]
  • Therapeutic Bioactivity: Peppermint leaves show significant therapeutic potential due to their robust profile of secondary metabolites and phenolic compounds. Peer-reviewed research confirms that these natural components exhibit strong antioxidant, antiviral, and general antimicrobial activity, helping support natural systemic defences.[3]
