Peppermint (leaf), 50 g – Lekraset

Lekraset Peppermint 50 g is loose peppermint leaf for herbal tea and infusions. People usually choose peppermint when they want a fresh-tasting plant drink that feels light after meals or simply when they prefer a classic mint note in home herbal blends. This is a straightforward product: 100% dried peppermint leaves, with no added flavors or fillers.

The best-known active substances in peppermint are essential oils, especially menthol. Menthol creates the characteristic cooling sensation on the tongue and gives mint its clean, brisk aroma. Peppermint leaves also contain other plant compounds that shape the taste and make the infusion popular in traditional herbal use. Because the whole leaf is used as herbal raw material rather than an extract, the drink feels gentler and more familiar, like a classic house tea prepared from dried herbs.

Peppermint has a long history in European and broader herbal traditions. It is often brewed on its own or combined with chamomile, lemon balm, fennel, or green tea, depending on the occasion and flavor preference. Many people reach for peppermint tea after a heavy meal, during a busy day when they want a warm non-coffee drink, or in the evening when they want something aromatic without a sweet taste. It also works well for those building a simple herbal tea routine at home and looking for a versatile single herb that mixes easily with other plants.

As with any herb, response can vary from person to person. If you are choosing peppermint for a child, if you are sensitive to mint, or if you plan to use herbal teas regularly for a longer period, it is sensible to check whether it suits you personally and ask a healthcare professional if needed.
