LCurator note · Twinings
Among the pure peppermints this is the balanced everyday one: 100 percent leaf, but tuned cleaner and naturally sweeter than the fierce Tetley menthol or the woodier, oilier Teapigs whole-leaf, so it is the one you can drink daily without it feeling like mouthwash. Cool, bright and velvety with a tidy finish. The packaging talks about bloating and digestion, which I would not lean on; the genuine case is simply that it is a dependable, unfussy mint that does not turn harsh. Caffeine-free and reliably good after a meal.

About this tea
Twinings Pure Peppermint, in brief.
Twinings Pure Peppermint is exactly what the name says, a single-ingredient pure peppermint leaf bag, picked into the Teas.co.uk curator selection as the no-frills baseline against which every flavoured peppermint blend is judged.
The peppermint leaf does all the work, giving the cup its familiar fresh-menthol lift, a clean cool finish and the gentle herbal backbone that any after-dinner mint drinker recognises. No added flavourings, no fruit, no spice, just the leaf, the right way to drink peppermint if you want the proper menthol structure.
A high-street pure peppermint at an accessible price, the pyramid format giving the leaf room to open properly during the brew, noticeably cleaner than the cheap square-bag supermarket peppermint alternatives.

The Story Behind the Twinings
Twinings was founded by Thomas Twining in 1706 at 216 Strand, London, where the original shop still operates today, making it the world's oldest continuously operating tea shop. The Twining family ran the business for nine generations and Stephen Twining is the current ambassador. Twinings was granted a Royal Warrant by Queen Victoria in 1837 and supplies tea to the UK Royal Household today.

The Barista Hot Serve Brewing Guide
-
Measure: Use one individual peppermint tea bag per cup (approximately 200ml to 250ml).
-
Pour: Use freshly boiled water. For the most velvety flavour, allow the water to settle for a few seconds before pouring over the bag.
-
Steep: Infuse for 2 minutes for a light refreshing cup; leave for up to 5 minutes if you prefer a deeper more intense menthol kick for digestive support.
-
Herbalist Tip: Always cover your mug while steeping. This traps the rising steam and prevents the precious volatile menthol oils from evaporating, ensuring a more potent cup.
The Iced Mint Sparkler Brewing Guide
-
The Prep: Steep 2 bags in 200ml of boiling water for 5 minutes to create a potent mint concentrate.
-
The Chill: Remove the bags and allow the liquid to cool completely.
-
The Serve: Pour over a tall glass of ice and top with sparkling water and a slice of fresh lime. This creates a hydrating caffeine free iced tea that is especially revitalising during the summer months.
The Peppermint Cloud Latte Brewing Guide
-
Why Try It: This popular alternative method creates a creamy dessert like drink that is often enjoyed as a soothing evening treat.
-
The Concentrate: Steep 2 bags in just 100ml of boiling water for 5 minutes to create a strong botanical base.
-
The Milk: Gently heat and froth 150ml of oat milk or coconut milk. The creamy texture of the milk balances the sharp mint perfectly.
-
The Combine: Pour the concentrate into a mug and top with the frothed milk. Add a small drop of dark chocolate syrup for a "mint choc" experience.

Side by side
How does it compare
vs Pukka PeppermintTwinings Pure Peppermint, 20 Tea Bags 40g offers a more distinct flavour profile and competitive pricing versus the mass market alternative; the difference is most noticeable in the second half of the cup when Pukka Peppermint starts to thin out.

vs Yogi Pure MintBoth occupy a similar price band and shelf position, but Twinings Pure Peppermint, 20 Tea Bags 40g differentiates through its certified sourcing, ethical packaging and the Twinings brand heritage outlined above.
Brewing
Brewing the perfect cup
To unlock the full potential of your twinings pure peppermint, correct temperature and timing are required. The peppermint leaves need hot water to release their volatile oils but should not be boiled for too long to avoid losing the delicate sweet notes. Please find our expert instructions below for a traditional hot serve, a refreshing iced sparkler, or our popular peppermint cloud latte.
