When I first decided to try herbal tea I chose peppermint, this was because I’d herd that there were many health benefits, it was good for your skin and that I’m quite keen on the taste of mint so I thought it would smell and taste nice. I decided to give it a try and brought a box of peppermint tea from the shop. I can’t remember how much it cost but peppermint tea can be fairly cheap therefore it’s very affordable.
After boiling the kettle and adding the water you can instantly smell the cool mint every time you make a cup of this detox drink, it’s really fresh and I also think that because peppermint tea contains menthol it’s good to breathe in as it could help to clear your sinuses. This is great for people suffering from colds or flu to ease the symptoms.

When it comes to the taste of peppermint tea, I find that it’s very fresh. I usually pour boiling water into the cup with the tea bag and leave it for about ten minutes to cool down. I don’t take the tea bag out because the longer you leave it in, the better the water soaks up all of the goodness from the tea. By the time ten minutes are up the tea is usually warm to hot, but not mouth burning heat. The most suitable word that I can describe the taste of the tea with would be, cooling and also to state the obvious, incredibly minty. It just has an incredibly strong minty taste, I think this is because mint is quite a strong plant. I also make a lot of healthy smoothies and I often put mint in them, I have to limit how much I put in to the blender though as too much can be quite overpowering. If you have a sweet tooth then you can add honey to the mix, this is also good for soothing sore throats and sweetens up the drink a little.
Overall I think that if you like a strong, minty, cooling taste then you are going to love peppermint tea and all of the health benefits that come with it. The other plus side is that you can buy it in most shops, you can definitely get them from all supermarkets and local shops. It’s probably my favorite herbal tea and I would 100% recommend trying it out!
