LCurator note · Lipton
Despite the name this is not a pure peppermint, and that is the point of it. If you want single-ingredient mint, the Tetley, Twinings or Teapigs peppermint bags are the cleaner choice. Lipton instead builds a rounder cup: a high cooling peppermint hit up front, then spearmint and liquorice softening the sharp menthol edge, lemon peel brightening the top, and blackberry leaf adding a bit of body so it does not drink thin. The result is a mint tea that is refreshing without being austere, the menthol punch is there but it is cushioned. It works particularly well after a rich meal or with a dark chocolate digestive. The liquorice does bring a touch of natural sweetness some will notice, so true mint purists may still prefer the unblended versions. As a smoother, more forgiving everyday mint, though, it is nicely done and caffeine-free.

About this tea

Lipton Smooth Mint, in brief.

Lipton Smooth Mint is the peppermint-and-spearmint herbal from Lipton, the standalone Lipton Teas and Infusions company that spun out of Unilever in 2022, a caffeine-free dual-mint blend without a tea base, picked into the Teas.co.uk curator selection as the global-brand alternative to the Twinings Pure Peppermint or the Pukka Three Mint herbal blends.

The peppermint and spearmint share structural work in the cup, the peppermint giving the cool menthol lift up front and the spearmint adding the softer sweeter middle layer that distinguishes this from a single-mint peppermint cup. No added flavourings, no fruit, no spice, just the two mint leaves, the proper way to drink a layered mint herbal if you find a plain peppermint a touch one-dimensional on its own and want a fuller cup without committing to a three-mint or four-mint blend.

A twenty-bag Lipton household pack at an accessible price for the global-brand supermarket tier, a sensible upgrade over the single-mint Pure Peppermint alternatives across the same supermarket shelf, and a useful daily mint cup backed by the scale of the standalone Lipton Teas and Infusions group, the world's largest pure-play tea company after the spin-out from Unilever in 2022 created the standalone group. The dual-mint structure suits both hot drinking in winter and iced drinking in summer.

How Do I Make Lipton Smooth Mint?

To get the best results from your lipton mint tea bags and learn how to make iced mint tea at home correct preparation is important. Using filtered water is highly recommended in hard water areas like London to ensure the menthol notes remain crisp.
Hot Brewing Instructions for Lipton Smooth Mint:
  • Measure: Place one 1.7g tea bag into your favourite pre warmed mug.
  • Pour: Add freshly boiled water at 100 degrees Celsius directly over the bag to fully activate the menthol oils.
  • Steep: Infuse for 3 to 5 minutes. Expert Tip: Avoid squeezing the tea bag as letting it drip naturally preserves the smooth profile of the spearmint without releasing excess tannins.
  • The Finish: Remove the bag and enjoy the refreshing aroma before your first sip.
The Refreshing Summer Iced Mint Recipe:
  • Ingredients and dietary suitability: Check the current UK pack before purchase; formulations and allergen advice can change.
  • The Prep: Brew 2 bags in 100ml of freshly boiled water for 5 minutes to create a potent mint concentrate.
  • The Chill: Remove the bags and allow the liquid to cool to room temperature.
  • The Serve: Pour over a tall glass filled with plenty of ice and add a slice of fresh lemon to highlight the citrus top notes.
The Mint Cloud Latte Recipe:
  • The Base: Steep 2 bags in 80ml of boiling water for a full 5 minutes to extract maximum menthol and herbal sweetness.
  • The Milk: Gently heat and froth 150ml of almond or oat milk until a dense micro foam forms.
  • The Combine: Pour the frothed milk over the mint concentrate. The blackberry leaves in the blend provide a natural body that pairs perfectly with plant based milks for a professional latte texture.

How does it compare

vs Standard Peppermint TeaWhen compared to basic single ingredient peppermint bags Lipton Smooth Mint offers a much more complex and rounded profile. While standard peppermint can sometimes be sharp or medicinal the addition of spearmint and blackberry leaves in this blend creates a softer sweeter finish that is easier to drink without adding sugar.
vs Fresh Mint TeaUnlike using fresh mint leaves which can be inconsistent in flavour strength depending on the season Lipton provides a perfectly balanced ratio every time. It captures the vibrancy of fresh herbs but adds a layer of depth from the liquorice root that you cannot get from leaves alone.
