Whole sun-dried leaf holds far more essential oil than the dust in a standard mint bag, so the menthol here arrives as a real cooling blast rather than a faint sweet-shop hint. The trade-off is honesty: there is a leafy, slightly woody undertone behind the mint, which fans of a clean clinical peppermint may not want, but most will read as proper depth. After a heavy meal, brewed strong, it does the job with conviction, and it makes a sharp iced jug too.
Teapigs Peppermint Leaves is a pure single-herb peppermint, whole leaf in the pyramid temple rather than the dusty hay or artificial candy note cheaper mint bags fall into. It is the bold, clean, properly cooling end of the pure-peppermint bracket, alongside the Tetley and Twinings single-herb versions, the after-dinner caffeine-free cup picked into the Teas.co.uk curator selection as a reliable, characterful choice.
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 open fully for a fresher, fuller cup than fragments give. Being caffeine-free it is fine last thing, and it pairs especially well with a square of dark chocolate.
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, Peppermint Leaves is the clean, bracing pure-mint option in the Teapigs range. Packaging information must be checked on the current UK pack.
