Tropical Sun Peppermint and Cinnamon, 20 Tea Bags 30g
An unusual pairing that works: cooling peppermint and warming cinnamon bark pulling in opposite directions in the same cup, which makes it far cosier and more festive than a plain mint, almost a mulled-mint. With so much spice in the ratio, the cinnamon actually shows up and does not hide behind the menthol. Caffeine-free, so a proper after-dinner or cold-night cup. It is a love-it-or-find-it-odd combination rather than a safe everyday mint; if cool-meets-warm appeals, it is one of the more characterful caffeine-free cups here.
Tropical Sun Peppermint and Cinnamon, in brief.
Tropical Sun Peppermint and Cinnamon is the after-meal mint-and-spice herbal from Tropical Sun, peppermint leaf paired with cinnamon for a warming, slightly sweet cup that drinks like the after-dinner herbal of the Caribbean kitchen, picked into the teas.co.uk curator selection as the diaspora-import alternative to a plain peppermint or the supermarket peppermint-and-cinnamon herbal blends.
The peppermint does the cooling structural work, giving the cup its familiar fresh-menthol lift and clean herbal backbone, while the cinnamon sits on top as the warm spicy lead, the cinnamon-and-mint pairing well known across both the Caribbean and the wider North African traditions and the Tropical Sun version drinking slightly louder than the British supermarket equivalents.
A twenty-bag Tropical Sun household pack at an accessible price for the Caribbean diaspora-import tier, a proper Caribbean import for any household that wants the authentic peppermint-and-cinnamon after-meal cup at home rather than the standard British supermarket peppermint or cinnamon herbal alternatives in the same shelf.
Tropical Sun Peppermint and Cinnamon is a comforting cup that sets a warm cinnamon spice against cool peppermint. This aromatic infusion is made for anyone who likes a cosy mug on colder days or at the end of a meal. Because the spice ratio is high, this blend tastes deeper and more festive than a standard mint tea. That makes Peppermint and Cinnamon an easy choice for anyone who likes an evening cup of tea.

The Herbalist Brewing Instructions
-
Measure: Drop one string and tag bag into a mug you have warmed beforehand.
-
Water: Water goes in at 100 degrees Celsius, fresh off the boil.
-
Pour: Send the water straight over the bag, which gets the essential oils and cinnamaldehyde working.
-
Steep: Wait for 5 minutes to allow the complex botanicals to fully hydrate and harmonise.
-
Herbalist Secret: Taken plain, Peppermint and Cinnamon is at its best. If you prefer extra sweetness, adding a small drizzle of local honey can further highlight the natural warmth of the cinnamon.
The Festive Palate Cleanser
-
The Prep: Give one bag of Peppermint and Cinnamon 5 minutes in 250ml of hot water.
-
The Pairing: Pair this infusion with buttery shortbread or spiced carrot cake where the spice warmth complements the food while the mint cleanses the palate.
-
The Finish: Sip it slowly after a heavy meal and let the menthol freshness linger.
