Peppermint Tea

Peppermint tea is made from the leaves of the peppermint plant (Mentha × piperita). It has a distinctive cooling aroma and a strong, refreshing flavour.

Peppermint is commonly enjoyed as a herbal infusion after meals or throughout the day.

Pure peppermint tea is naturally caffeine-free, making it a popular alternative to traditional black or green tea.

Spearmint Tea

Spearmint tea is made from the leaves of the spearmint plant (Mentha spicata). Compared with peppermint, spearmint generally has a gentler, sweeter flavour with less of the intense cooling sensation associated with menthol. Spearmint can be enjoyed on its own or blended with other herbs.

Peppermint vs Spearmint Tea: What's the Difference?

Although both belong to the mint family, peppermint and spearmint offer different flavour experiences.
