ⓘYour precious tea really needs to be kept airtight and away from light once you open it - we'd strongly recommend one of our tins to keep it safe.

A rare English peppermint grown on the private botanical garden of the Tregothnan Estate.  This truly remarkable and unique peppermint is a wonderful end to a meal.

This peppermint is grown in Cornwall on the Tregothnan estate which has remained in the same family since 1335. It is one of the very last English mints in production. Cheaper, industrial imports have dominated the market but they are not a patch on the flavour.  Head gardener Jonathon Jones has selected cultivars that perform best in their unique Cornish microclimate.

Naturally caffeine free.

Counter-intuitively, the menthol oils infuse more easily from the dried leaf, giving a brighter, cleaner flavour than fresh mint.

6p per cup based on 0.5g of tea per 150ml of water and 3 infusions.

Tregothnan Estate, Cornwall, United Kingdom

Recommended Infusion Guide

  • Quantity

    It is quite strong and you really only need a tiny pinch for a robust flavour. We recommend 0.5g per 150ml of water.

  • Temperature

    For the optimum infusion use 100°C water.

  • Time

    Infuse for 30 - 60 seconds, tasting regularly.

  • Infusions

    You can infuse these herbs at least three times. With each careful infusion, different subtleties of flavour are revealed.

NaN -Infinity

How to infuse your tea is very personal, and these are just our recommendations based on experience. Please experiment with these variables to your heart's delight. These are our recommendations, not hard and fast rules. The most delicious tea is the one you love.

Our guide uses a standard tea cup size (150ml/5.5 oz) as a measure, please adjust the quantity of leaf accordingly for less or more water. Our whole loose leaves are of such a high quality that you can infuse our teas at least twice, and the second infusion is often better than the first, with different flavours revealed as the leaf softens. If you prefer your tea stronger, add more leaf, don’t leave it for longer (this will just make it bitter).

Origin & Craft

The belief in doing things well has persevered at Tregothnan; the Estate has stayed within the same family since 1335.

At the heart of the Estate is the private walled Botanic Garden. Tregothnan is passionate about growing and collecting plants, including many rare specimens.

Best peppermint

I’ve been drinking Rare Tea’s peppermint for years now, and I love it. So much better than supermarket tea bag peppermint.

The most delicious peppermint tea

This was not like any other peppermint tea I'd drunk. The most gorgeous flavour - clean, fresh, deep and zingy. Perfect.
