Looking for a decent peppermint tea

    As above, I am looking for a good peppermint tea witha depth of flavour. I usually use the Lidl own brand tea bags and they are grand for day to day use.
    I'd like something a bit richer for a 'treat' occasionally. I've tried Aldi ones, not much different. Ones I have enjoyed are the Cosi brand ones you get in some filling stations but ideally I want something I can buy a box of in a local supermarket.

    What are your go to or favourite mint teas that you'd recommend?

    Twinings?

    I'd kind of assume they are the standard bearer here when it comes to widely available, supermarket available infusions

    You could have a look here too or other similar places

    alternatively, you could grow peppermint yourself and dry it - all mint plants grow like weeds in our climate and you'd have an abundance.

    Aldi have 2 different versions, I like the ones in the silk bag

    Twinings can be nice alright, I might try those again and see how I get on. Just wanted to check if I was missing out on any other less obvious/mainstream ones. Thanks for the link, I haven't tried anything from the Tea Emporium before :)

    Icsics, I'm actually almost finished a box of those Aldi ones, not bad at all but looking for something with a stronger flavour :)

    Try the polish shops. Much better selections and cheaper.
    Picked up a lovely ginger one recently

    I find Teapigs peppermint tea to have a nice strong flavour. I think they are in Tesco. I find the M&S branded teas to be very rich as well.

    Tesco Finest would be our go to "fancy" choice at home.

    Normal Peppermint or "Peppermint & Liquorice" really nice too if feeling extra fancy!

    Pukka brand also nice, particularly their "Three Mint" flavour although not as readily stocked where I shop.

    Tea pigs is good and also Yogi Teas (any health shop)

    The Pukka three mint is nice (and organic).

    Nik's Peppermint Tea is just fabulous.

    I highly recommend the After Dinner Mint tea.

    Ooh lots of interesting suggestions there, thanks! I don't know why I didn't think of Pukka, we often have their green tea. I'll be looking out for the others too, thanks all.

    Teapigs definitely! A cut above most of the standard tea imo - the liquorice and peppermint is unreal too

    Got a bag from Bailies. Pretty good. Loose leaf.
