Canonical: https://teas.co.uk/product/cotterley-green-mint-tea-25-tea-bags-40g/\n\nCotterley is the in house tea brand of the Intermarche group in France, the country's third largest supermarket chain. The Cotterley range is one of the most popular tea labels on French supermarket shelves, competing with Carrefour and Casino on the everyday tea tier. We import it to the UK for British customers who want better build quality than supermarket own brand at a similar price point.\n\nThe taste profile\nFour sensory dimensions, scored against the green tea blend category:\n\nMint intensity, 5/5. Dominant cooling top note from real peppermint, immediate palate cleansing and refreshing relief.\nVegetal clarity, 4/5. Green tea base provides fresh grassy notes and a slightly nutty foundation underneath.\nCooling finish, 5/5. Refreshing menthol persistence lasts long after the final sip; the signature of a proper green mint.\nGreen tea body, 3/5. Smooth structure that supports the mint without adding heavy astringency or bitterness.\n\nTeas.co.uk Curator Rating: 4.7/5, our expert verdict from the curators at Teas.co.uk.\n\nThe story behind Cotterley\nCotterley is Intermarche's tea label, the third largest supermarket group in France launched the brand as their answer to Carrefour's and Casino's in house tea ranges. The name was chosen to evoke a traditional English cottage feel while the product itself is blended and packed to French retail standards. The format is L'Oriental blending: a specific in house technique designed to give a consistent flavour profile across every harvest, with bags larger than most UK supermarket standards at 1.6g each.\n\nWhy we import it\nThe build quality at this price point is unusual on a British shelf:\n\nBiodegradable tea bags. Plant fibres and cotton string. No plastic glues, no metal staples. The bag breaks down on a home compost heap.\nFSC certified cartons. The 25-bag box is 100% recyclable and carries FSC certification for sustainable forestry.\n1.6g bag size. Larger than the 1.2-1.4g standard on most British supermarket own brand teas. The cup brews stronger from a single bag.\nFrench value positioning. Cotterley's mission is high quality at family prices, not premium tier mark up. The UK price reflects that.\n\nThe perfect serve\n\nTemperature. 80\u00b0C (boil the kettle and let it rest for 90 seconds). Boiling water destroys the delicate amino acids that give green tea its smooth, sweet character.\nSteep. 2 to 3 minutes. Any longer and the cup turns bitter. Remove the bag promptly; do not squeeze.\nService. No milk, no sugar. The natural sweet grassy notes need nothing else. A slice of lemon brightens the cup if you prefer.\nCold brew. Drop one bag into 250ml of cold water in a glass jug and refrigerate for 4 to 8 hours. The cold method extracts the sweeter compounds preferentially.\nIced version. Brew double strength (one bag in 100ml of 80\u00b0C water for 2 minutes), cool, pour over ice and dilute with cold water.\n\nBest paired with\n\nSushi, sashimi, steamed rice dishes, the green tea base cuts through the rice and the mint refreshes between bites.\nDark chocolate or almond cake, the menthol cleans up the cocoa or nut oils on the palate.\nPost dinner cup, peppermint is traditionally associated with digestive comfort.\nStorage: keep in the airtight inner packaging once opened. Store away from strongly flavoured foods.\n\nHow Does Cotterley Green Mint Compare to\n\nTwinings Green Tea Mint: Twinings sits a tier above on brand polish but uses smaller 1.2g bags. Cotterley offers a more intense mint profile in a larger 1.6g bag at a similar price.\nLipton Mint Green: Cotterley provides a smoother, less astringent experience through the L'Oriental blending discipline. Lipton skews more bitter.\nHyson Premium Tea: Hyson is loose leaf premium tier. Cotterley is the supermarket standard bagged tier with biodegradable bag credentials Hyson's range doesn't always match.\n\nHow Does Cotterley Green Mint Compare to\n\nTwinings green teas: Twinings sits a tier above on brand polish but uses smaller 1.2g bags. Cotterley offers a more intense mint profile in a larger 1.6g bag at a noticeably lower per cup cost.\nLipton Green Mint Tea: Cotterley provides a smoother, less astringent experience through the L'Oriental blending discipline. Lipton tends sharper; both contain caffeine from the green tea base.\nPure peppermint infusion (Tropical Sun): Tropical Sun is caffeine free pure peppermint. Cotterley uses the green tea base to give the mint structure and the cup body. Choose Tropical Sun for evening; Cotterley for daytime alertness.\n\nSafety and dietary information\nDietary status: suitable for vegans, vegetarians and gluten free diets. Sugar free and calorie free.\nCaffeine: contains naturally occurring caffeine from the green tea base (around 25-30 mg per cup, roughly half a cup of coffee).\nAllergens: no declared major allergens. Mint is generally well tolerated; anyone with a hiatal hernia should note that peppermint can occasionally aggravate reflux.\nSustainability: bags are plant based and home compostable where labelled. Mint sourced from Morocco, Egypt or the USA. FSC certified card outer.\nShelf life: see best before date on the pack. Product remains safe past that date but loses aromatic strength. Store somewhere cool, dry and away from direct sunlight.\n\nSource: Teas.co.uk. UK independent tea specialist, Tunbridge Wells, Kent.

                "content": "What is Cotterley Green Mint Tea?Cotterley Green Mint Tea is a green tea and peppermint blend in 25 biodegradable tea bags (40g total, 1.6g per bag). The base is sencha style green tea leaves blended with peppermint, sourced from Morocco, Egypt or the USA depending on harvest. Cotterley is the in house tea brand of the Intermarche group in France, imported to the UK by Teas.co.uk.\n\nDoes Cotterley Green Mint Tea contain caffeine?Yes. The green tea base naturally contains caffeine, approximately 25-30 mg per cup, roughly half the caffeine of a cup of coffee. Not suitable as an exclusively decaffeinated alternative; if you want caffeine free mint, choose a pure peppermint infusion instead.\n\nHow do I brew the perfect cup?Temperature: 80\u00b0C (boil the kettle and let it rest 90 seconds). Boiling water destroys the delicate amino acids that give green tea its smooth character. Steep: 2-3 minutes, no longer or the cup turns bitter. Remove the bag promptly; do not squeeze. Service: no milk, no sugar, the natural sweet grassy notes need nothing else.\n\nIs it suitable for vegans, vegetarians or gluten free diets?Yes to all three. The blend contains only green tea leaves and peppermint, no animal derived ingredients, no gluten. Sugar free and calorie free. No declared major allergens. Mint is generally well tolerated, though anyone with a hiatal hernia should note that peppermint can occasionally aggravate reflux.\n\nWhy is Cotterley imported from France?Cotterley is the in house tea brand of Intermarche, France's third largest supermarket cooperative. We import the range to the UK because the build quality at this price point is unusual on a British shelf: biodegradable bags with no plastic glues or staples, FSC certified cardboard cartons, and 1.6g bags that brew noticeably stronger than the 1.2-1.4g UK supermarket standard.\n\nWhat is L'Oriental blending?L'Oriental is Cotterley's in house blending technique, designed to deliver consistent flavour across every harvest regardless of where the leaves are sourced. The brand's mission is affordable luxury, high quality tea at family prices rather than premium tier mark up. The 1.6g bag size is calibrated for a single 200ml cup at the recommended brew.\n\nCan I cold brew this tea?Yes, cold brewing is excellent for green mint tea. Drop one bag into 250ml of cold water in a glass jug and refrigerate for 4-8 hours. The cold method extracts the sweeter compounds preferentially and is the smoothest way to drink green tea on a hot day. Best results overnight. Drink within 24 hours.\n\nWhat food pairs well with it?Sushi, sashimi and steamed rice dishes are the natural pairing, the cooling mint cuts the umami and resets the palate between bites. Dark chocolate and almond cake also work well because the menthol clears the cocoa and nut oils. Post dinner cup is the classic Western pairing; peppermint is traditionally associated with digestive comfort.\n\nHow is the packaging sustainable?The tea bags use biodegradable paper and cotton string, no metal staples, no plastic glues. The outer cardboard carton is 100% recyclable and FSC certified for sustainable forestry. Plant based bags are home compostable where labelled. Standard French supermarket sustainability compliance, ahead of much of the UK supermarket own brand tea range.\n\nHow does it compare to Twinings or Lipton mint teas?Cotterley sits between mass market (Lipton) and premium (Twinings) on positioning. The 1.6g bag is larger than both, giving a stronger brew per bag. The L'Oriental blending technique provides smoother extraction than Lipton's standard supermarket tier. Twinings has more brand polish but charges more per cup. Cotterley is the value conscious choice with better sustainability credentials.\n\nIs the mint real or synthetic?Real peppermint leaves blended into the green tea base, sourced from Morocco, Egypt or the USA depending on harvest. Real peppermint carries 30-50% menthol in its essential oil, plus wood and earth undertones that synthetic mint flavourings flatten out. The cooling effect is the same physiologically; the aromatic complexity is meaningfully better.\n\nHow should I store it?Store somewhere cool, dry and away from direct sunlight, in the original carton or an airtight tin once opened. Tea absorbs strong aromas from the cupboard easily, keep away from coffee, garlic and spices. See the best before date on the pack; the tea remains safe past that date but loses aromatic strength over time.\nWhat other Cotterley teas do you sell?We currently import two Cotterley products to the UK: this Green Mint Tea and the Cotterley Lemon Tea. Both are 25-bag 40g cartons with the same 1.6g biodegradable bags. The Lemon Tea is a black tea and lemon zest blend with caffeine from the black tea base, a daytime cup rather than after dinner. Both share the same French Intermarche provenance, FSC certified packaging, and L'Oriental blending technique.\nWhen's the best time of day to drink it?Anytime from morning to early evening. At 25-30 mg caffeine per cup, this sits between caffeine free herbal infusions and a strong black tea, so it will not disrupt sleep if drunk before 4pm. The traditional Moroccan ritual is after dinner because peppermint is associated with digestive comfort, but at this caffeine level you may want to limit it to a single cup if you turn in early. Best as a mid afternoon cup or an end of meal digestif."

                "title": "Flavour Science",
                "content": "The flavour of Cotterley Green Mint Tea, 25 Tea Bags 40g is built in three layers, and reading them in order explains exactly why the cup tastes the way it does from the first lift of steam to the last swallow.The outer layer is aromatic: a cotterley mint green tea. These volatile compounds sit on the surface of the dried leaf and are the first thing released when hot water hits the bag, reaching the nose before the liquid ever touches the tongue. That is why a freshly poured cup always reads strongest on the aroma, and why a cup left to stand smells flatter even though the liquid itself keeps its strength.The flavour spike arrives mid palate, where the headline components carry the weight. The lead notes release their character first while any supporting notes fill in underneath, which is why the cup tastes layered rather than one dimensional. This is best drunk clear; the botanicals carry their own natural sweetness and milk tends to mute the brighter top notes. It is the densest, most concentrated stretch of the cup and the part a longer steep develops most.The base structure is the lingering finish: a clean, gently grassy note that resets the palate and invites the next sip. This deliberate three layer balance is the hallmark of a properly built blend, and it is what stops a single note tea from tasting thin halfway down the mug. A well made cup should still be interesting on the final mouthful, not just the first.Getting it right in the cup. Use one bag per 200 to 250ml and steep for 2 to 3 minutes at around 80\u00b0C; under steeping is the most common reason this blend tastes weaker than it should, because the heavier aromatic compounds are the slowest to leave the leaf. Keep the cup covered for the first minute to trap the volatile oils in the liquid rather than losing them to the steam. Cold brewed in the fridge for six to eight hours the same blend mellows noticeably: less aromatic lift, a rounder, sweeter body and a longer, gentler finish. Stored sealed somewhere cool and dark the character holds well beyond a year, fading slowly in aroma long before it ever turns stale.How water and temperature change it. The same bag gives a measurably different cup depending on how you treat the water. Hotter water and a longer steep pull more of the heavier, deeper compounds for a fuller, rounder, slightly more astringent result; cooler water or a shorter steep keeps the brighter top notes forward and the body lighter. Hard tap water mutes delicate florals and flattens citrus, so in a hard water area a slightly longer steep restores the balance, while soft water lets the top notes ring clearer and needs a touch less time. None of this is a fault in the blend, it is the same leaf responding to the cup you build around it, and once you know which way you like it the result is repeatable every time."

Iced coolers, hot chocolates, lollies, cocktails and a viral mint choc chip lolly, tested with real measurements, real times, the same 1.6g French import bag you have just got in your basket.\nRecipes, born here first\n\n Classic after dinner cup\n The default Cotterley Green Mint serve. The single best after meal cup if you've had a heavy or spicy supper, peppermint is traditionally associated with digestive comfort, and the green tea base gives the cup just enough body to feel like a proper finish to the meal rather than a glass of water.\n \n \u23f1 5 min\n \ud83c\udf7d 1 cup\n \ud83d\udcca Easy\n \n \n \n You'll need\n \n \ud83c\udf751 bag Cotterley Green Mint Tea\n \ud83d\udca7200ml just boiled water cooled to 80\u00b0C\n \u26151 mug\n \n \n \n Method\n \n Boil the kettle and let the water rest 90 seconds; you want 80\u00b0C not 100\u00b0C or the green tea turns bitter.\n Pour 200ml over the bag in a mug and cover with a saucer to trap the menthol steam.\n Steep for 2-3 minutes. No longer, green tea over extracts quickly.\n Remove the bag promptly without squeezing. Drink without milk or sugar.\n \n \n \n What you'll end up with: a clear amber green cup with a clean menthol top note and a smooth grassy finish. Peppermint sits forward, green tea provides the structural backbone. Drinks naturally without sweetener.\n\n Iced mint cooler mocktail\n The single best non alcoholic summer drink that came out of our test kitchen. Cold brewed Cotterley Green Mint over ice with lime and cucumber, the cucumber doubles down on the cooling sensation, the lime adds acid to lift the mint.\n \n \u23f1 10 min + chill\n \ud83c\udf7d 1 large jug (4 glasses)\n \ud83d\udcca Easy\n \n \n \n You'll need\n \n \ud83c\udf753 bags Cotterley Green Mint Tea\n \ud83d\udca7300ml just boiled water + 500ml cold water\n \ud83c\udf4bJuice of 1 lime\n \ud83c\udf6f1 tbsp agave syrup\n \ud83e\udd52Cucumber slices to garnish\n \ud83c\udf3fFresh mint leaves\n \ud83e\uddcaA generous glass of ice\n \n \n \n Method\n \n Brew 3 bags in 300ml just boiled water for 6 minutes. Cover to trap menthol.\n Cool completely (slot in the fridge 20 min if you're impatient).\n Combine the cooled brew in a tall jug with 500ml cold water, the lime juice and agave syrup. Stir.\n Fill glasses with ice, pour over the cooler, garnish with cucumber and fresh mint.\n Serve within an hour while the menthol is at its brightest.\n \n \n \n What you'll end up with: a pale green cooler with a deep cucumber and mint aroma rising from the glass. Tastes cleaner than commercial iced tea because there's no sugar load. Adults will refill the jug.\n\n Frozen mint choc chip lolly (kid hit)\n Tastes exactly like mint choc chip ice cream on a stick. The chocolate chips suspend evenly through the lolly because the brewed tea has body. Naturally caffeine light from the green tea base, so safe for after tea. Has made grown adults emotional in our test kitchen.\n \n \u23f1 15 min + freeze overnight\n \ud83c\udf7d 6 lollies\n \ud83d\udcca Easy\n \n \n \n You'll need\n \n \ud83c\udf753 bags Cotterley Green Mint Tea\n \ud83d\udca7200ml just boiled water\n \ud83e\udd5b200ml cold whole milk\n \ud83c\udf6f2 tbsp clear honey\n \ud83c\udf6b50g mini dark chocolate chips\n \ud83c\udf616 lolly moulds + sticks\n \n \n \n Method\n \n Brew 3 bags in 200ml just boiled water for 5 minutes. Cool completely.\n Stir in the cold milk, honey and dark chocolate chips.\n Pour the mixture into 6 lolly moulds.\n Push in the sticks. Freeze overnight (or at least 8 hours).\n Run the moulds briefly under warm water to release.\n \n \n \n What you'll end up with: pale green lollies with chocolate chips visible throughout. The brewed tea gives them more flavour depth than ice cream shop versions. Kids ask for a second within 30 minutes.\n\n Mint tea mojito (adult cocktail)\n A proper mojito built on cold brewed mint tea rather than muddled mint and sugar. The cold brew gives clean menthol without the bruised leaf bitterness, and the green tea base keeps the cocktail from reading too sweet.\n \n \u23f1 10 min + chill\n \ud83c\udf7d 4 glasses\n \ud83d\udcca Easy\n \n \n \n You'll need\n \n \ud83c\udf752 bags Cotterley Green Mint Tea\n \ud83d\udca7300ml just boiled water\n \ud83e\udd43100ml white rum\n \ud83c\udf4bJuice of 2 limes\n \ud83c\udf6f2 tbsp brown sugar syrup\n \ud83e\udd64300ml soda water\n \ud83c\udf3fFresh mint sprigs and lime wheels\n \n \n \n Method\n \n Brew 2 bags in 300ml just boiled water for 5 minutes.

Serve immediately.\n \n \n \n What you'll end up with: a pale amber cocktail with persistent menthol vapour from the ice. Reads cleaner than a classic muddled mint mojito and holds the bright menthol better through the meal.\n\n Peppermint hot chocolate\n After eight in a mug. Hot chocolate made with brewed Cotterley Green Mint instead of plain water gives the cup an aromatic dimension that mint syrup cannot match. The green tea base also cuts the sweetness so it tastes balanced rather than cloying.\n \n \u23f1 10 min\n \ud83c\udf7d 2 mugs\n \ud83d\udcca Easy\n \n \n \n You'll need\n \n \ud83c\udf752 bags Cotterley Green Mint Tea\n \ud83d\udca7300ml just boiled water\n \ud83e\udd5b200ml whole milk\n \ud83c\udf6b100g dark chocolate (70% cocoa), broken\n \ud83c\udf6f1 tsp sugar (optional, to taste)\n \u2601\ufe0fWhipped cream and cocoa to finish\n \n \n \n Method\n \n Brew 2 bags in 300ml just boiled water for 5 minutes. Remove bags.\n Heat the milk in a saucepan to just below simmer.\n Add the broken chocolate and the brewed mint tea to the milk. Whisk continuously until smooth.\n Sweeten if needed; pour into pre warmed mugs.\n Top with whipped cream and a dusting of cocoa.\n \n \n \n What you'll end up with: dark cocoa coloured hot chocolate with a persistent mint top note. The brewed tea base means the cup doesn't sit heavy after a meal the way a cream and chocolate version does.\n\n After eight style truffles\n Real mint tea infused truffles, no peppermint extract. Brewed Cotterley Green Mint replaces some of the cream in the ganache, giving the truffles a clean herbal mint rather than the chemical mint of commercial after eights. Best made a day ahead.\n \n \u23f1 30 min + chill overnight\n \ud83c\udf7d 16-20 truffles\n \ud83d\udcca Medium\n \n \n \n You'll need\n \n \ud83c\udf753 bags Cotterley Green Mint Tea\n \ud83e\udd5b150ml double cream\n \ud83c\udf6b200g dark chocolate (70% cocoa)\n \ud83e\uddc820g unsalted butter\n \ud83c\udf6fCocoa powder for rolling\n \n \n \n Method\n \n Warm the cream just below simmer; drop in 3 mint tea bags. Cover and infuse 15 minutes.\n Remove the bags, gently squeezing. Re warm the infused cream.\n Pour hot cream over chopped chocolate; rest 2 minutes, then stir to a smooth ganache.\n Add the butter and stir until glossy. Chill 4 hours minimum (overnight is better).\n Scoop teaspoonfuls, roll into balls, then roll in cocoa. Keep cool until serving.\n \n \n \n What you'll end up with: small dark truffles with a clean mint aromatic that lingers without being sharp. Serve with espresso after dinner. Keep in the fridge for up to a week.\n\n Mint choc milkshake (diner style)\n A milkshake built on brewed mint tea rather than mint syrup. The actual brewed tea gives the shake a real herbal base note that no commercial mint syrup can match. Adults order this off menu.\n \n \u23f1 10 min\n \ud83c\udf7d 2 tall glasses\n \ud83d\udcca Easy\n \n \n \n You'll need\n \n \ud83c\udf752 bags Cotterley Green Mint Tea\n \ud83d\udca7100ml just boiled water\n \ud83c\udf684 scoops vanilla ice cream\n \ud83e\udd5b200ml cold whole milk\n \ud83c\udf6b2 tbsp chocolate syrup + extra dark chocolate chips\n \u2601\ufe0fSquirty cream to finish\n \n \n \n Method\n \n Brew 2 bags in 100ml just boiled water for 5 minutes, make it strong. Cool completely.\n Combine brewed tea, ice cream, cold milk and chocolate syrup in a blender.\n Blend on high for 25 seconds until thick but still pourable.\n Pour into chilled tall glasses, top with squirty cream and a scatter of chocolate chips.\n Serve immediately with a long spoon.
