Curator note · Teapigs
Read the ratio before you buy: this is 70 percent liquorice root with peppermint as the cooling counterweight, not a mint tea with a hint of sweetness. That makes it intensely, naturally sweet, a genuine calorie-free stand-in for a pudding if you love liquorice, and completely wrong for you if you do not, there is no halfway with that root. For the right palate it is one of the most moreish caffeine-free cups here; for everyone else, steer to the plain peppermint instead.
Lee Samuel Tucker · Curator · teas.co.uk

Teapigs Liquorice and Peppermint is a naturally sweet caffeine-free blend, whole peppermint married to pure liquorice root, the liquorice doing the sweetening so there is no sugar yet a genuine dessert-like cup. It is a love-it-or-not blend, the liquorice leads and divides opinion, but if you like it this is one of the better whole-leaf versions, picked into the Teas.co.uk curator selection alongside our other liquorice options.

Preparation: drop one pyramid into a 250ml mug at 95 to 100 degrees and steep four to five minutes. The whole-leaf pyramid lets the mint and root open fully for a fuller cup than fragments. Being caffeine-free it is an easy after-dinner choice, and it pairs well with a cheese board.

Packaging: Follow the current UK pack and local-authority guidance; components can require different disposal routes.

Teapigs Liquorice and Peppermint is a refined essential for the modern consumer seeking a sensory rich alternative to standard grocery store herbal bags. Unlike basic blends that can taste like dusty hay or artificial candy this infusion is structured to address the requirement for a bold natural treat through a complex botanical matrix of whole peppermint and pure liquorice root. Ingredients, allergens and dietary suitability must be checked on the current UK pack.

To experience the full British lifestyle feel this indulgent liquorice and mint tea pairs nicely with a quiet evening or as a refreshing iced summer cooler. Whether you are relaxing at home or need a consistent wellness boost during a busy day this blend gives you a zesty and invigorating experience that continues the Teapigs tradition of quality into 2026.
