LCurator note · Twinings
This genuinely tastes like a butter mint sweet melted into a cup: vanilla leads, rich and creamy, with peppermint as the cooling counterpoint and a surprisingly dense, velvety body you do not expect from a herbal. It is confectionery in a mug more than a tea, and on those terms it is extremely well done, sweet without a grain of sugar. Caffeine-free and the cup to reach for after dinner when you want pudding without the pudding; not an everyday brew, but a very good treat.

About this tea
Twinings Buttermint, in brief.
Twinings Buttermint is an unusual peppermint-and-butterscotch herbal infusion, caffeine-free peppermint leaf with natural butterscotch flavouring on top, picked into the Teas.co.uk curator selection as the dessert-style novelty alternative to a plain peppermint cup. I will leave any wellness framing aside and judge it as a cup, cool peppermint up front and a sweet butterscotch top note that drinks like a mint-choc dessert without the chocolate.
The peppermint does the cooling structural work, giving the cup its familiar fresh-menthol lift and a clean herbal backbone, while the butterscotch flavouring sits on top as the unusual lead, a soft creamy-sweet note that pulls the cup towards a confectionery profile rather than the medicinal end of the peppermint spectrum. Twinings have kept the butterscotch gentle so it does not tip cloying, and the pyramid format gives the leaf room to open during the brew. A polarising cup, a mint sweet in tea form.
Caffeine status: naturally zero caffeine, so it works any time including late evening. Taste profile: cool peppermint up front balanced by a soft butterscotch top note and a clean minty finish. What it is: a Twinings dessert-style peppermint herbal, in the same family as the Bigelow Mint Magic and the after-dinner mint sweets traditionally served with coffee.
Curator notes: the tasting profile reflects our own editorial review against the current pack format and the brand spec sheet, cross-checked with brewing trials at the recommended steep time and water temperature. Storage notes, freshness windows and brewing temperature ranges are also published in the detailed Q and A tab below.

Curator’s notes
Read the full write-up
Twinings Buttermint brings the expertise of traditional blending into everyday life with a playful twist. Unlike standard peppermint teas that can be sharp or medicinal, this infusion is structured to layer natural sweetness through a complex matrix of mint and vanilla. These Twinings herbal tea bags take that same approachable quality and put it into a simple format you can enjoy at home.
To experience the full British lifestyle feel, this indulgent buttermint tea pairs nicely with a quiet evening reading session or as a comforting "hug in a mug" after a heavy meal. Ingredients, allergens and dietary suitability must be checked on the current UK pack.

How Do I Make Twinings Buttermint?
To get the best results from your Twinings tea bags and learn how to make the perfect herbal infusion at home, correct preparation is important. Freshly boiled water is vital to allow the peppermint leaves to fully rehydrate.Hot Brewing Instructions for Buttermint:
- Measure: Place one bag into your favourite pre warmed mug.
- Pour: Add freshly boiled water at 100 degrees Celsius directly over the bag to agitate the botanicals.
- Steep: Let it brew for 3 to 5 minutes to allow the vanilla aromatics to fully release. Expert Tip: This tea cannot be overbrewed, so feel free to leave the bag in for maximum creamy depth.
- The Finish: Do not squeeze the bag too hard, as letting it drip naturally preserves the smooth profile.

Side by side
How does it compare
vs Standard Peppermint TeaWhen compared to basic pure peppermint blends which can be sharp or medicinal, Twinings Buttermint offers a much more indulgent profile. It uses vanilla to round off the menthol edges, creating a creamy sensation that feels like a treat rather than a remedy.
vs Hot ChocolateFor those trying to reduce their calorie intake, Buttermint provides a similar level of comfort and creaminess to a hot cocoa but without the dairy or sugar. It is a guilt free way to enjoy a warm and velvety mug in the evening.
vs Chocolate Mint TeaWhile many brands like Teapigs offer chocolate mint blends that use cocoa shells, Twinings achieves that dessert like satisfaction purely through vanilla and mint. This makes it a lighter and cleaner option that is less heavy on the stomach.
