Teapigs Green Tea with Mint, 15 Tea Bags 37.5g
Most mint-green teas are built on harsh gunpowder leaf, which is why they so often taste bitter under the mint. This uses a Chunmee base instead, naturally sweeter and nuttier, so the peppermint sits on something smooth rather than fighting it. It is billed as Moroccan-inspired but carries no added sugar, so expect a clean, fresh cup rather than the sweet café version unless you add honey yourself. One of the more drinkable everyday mint-greens, and very good over ice.
Teapigs Green Tea with Mint, in brief.
Teapigs Green Tea with Mint pairs a whole-leaf Chinese Chunmee green with pure peppermint in the pyramid temple, rather than the harsh gunpowder green and dusty fragments cheaper mint-greens lean on. That choice of base is the point: it stays smooth and clean under the mint instead of bitter, picked into the teas.co.uk curator selection.
Preparation: the rule that matters with any green. Drop one pyramid into a 250ml mug at 80 to 85 degrees, not boiling, and steep three minutes. Boiling water turns the green bitter behind the mint. It is lovely hot or iced, and pairs especially well with baklava.
Curator notes: rated four point six out of five, this is the refined green-and-mint in the Teapigs range, smoother than the supermarket green-mints. For recycling and packaging details, read the carton you actually receive.
Ingredients and dietary: Caffeinated whole leaf Chun Mee green tea from China, paired with peppermint leaves from Croatia.

The Story Behind the Teapigs Brand
Nick and Louise started Teapigs in London in 2006, wanting to get people back to drinking tea made from real leaves.- Tea Temple Innovation: Frustrated by paper bags filled with floor sweepings they pioneered the Teapigs brand tea temple, a roomy mesh pyramid where whole leaves open out properly.
- Chunmee Heritage: Picking Chunmee instead of the usual Gunpowder green gives a gentler, more refined take on Moroccan mint tea.
- Business for Good: As a certified B Corp Teapigs prioritizes social goals by supporting vulnerable tea communities and orphans in Rwanda.
