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 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, the most refined of the green-and-mint options we stock, 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.
Packaging: Follow the current UK pack and local-authority guidance; components can require different disposal routes.
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. Packaging information must be checked on the current UK pack.
Teapigs Green Tea with Mint is a refined essential for the modern consumer seeking a sensory rich alternative to standard grocery store green teas.

🔍 How Does Teapigs Green Tea with Mint Compare to:

- Pukka Mint Matcha: Pukka is more vegetal and powder focused whereas Teapigs provides a traditional Moroccan clear liquor with a sweet nutty finish.
🫖 Brewing The Perfect Cup of Teapigs Green Tea with Mint, 15 Tea Bags 37.5g
- Water temperature: 80°C (boil the kettle and let it rest for 90 seconds). Boiling water at 100°C destroys the delicate amino acids that give green tea its smooth, sweet character.
- Measure: One bag per 200ml of water (a standard mug). For loose leaf, use one heaped teaspoon.
- Steep: 2 to 3 minutes, any longer and the cup turns bitter. Remove the bag promptly; do not squeeze.
- Service: No milk and no sugar; the natural sweet grassy notes need nothing else. A slice of lemon brightens the cup if you prefer.
- Cold 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 and is the smoothest way to drink green tea on a hot day.
- Iced version: Brew double strength (one bag in 100ml of 80°C water for 2 minutes), cool, pour over ice and dilute with cold water.
- Best with: sushi, sashimi, steamed rice dishes, dark chocolate, almond cake.
