## Summary

A whole-leaf peppermint cup brewed the right way: bright menthol and caffeine-free, good after meals.

## Description

A good peppermint cup is clear, cooling and never bitter, and getting there is mostly about restraint. Whole peppermint leaves, as in Teapigs, hold far more of the menthol oil than crushed dust; the usual mistake is brewing too hot for too long, which boils off the freshness and leaves a flat, hay-like cup.
