Peppermint is the classic after-dinner cup, clean and cooling, and just the thing to round off a meal. This blend pairs it with honeybush, a South African herb a bit like Rooibos, which adds a round, natural sweetness underneath the mint. Between the two there is no need for honey or lemon, and being caffeine-free it is an easy one to drink last thing at night. Give it a good six minutes to let the honeybush come through.
