Novus Egyptian Mint Loose Tea 250g

Egyptian Mint Loose Tea

Novus Egyptian Mint Loose Tea 250g is an award-winning peppermint herbal infusion with an intensely fresh, cooling flavour and a wonderfully clean finish. Made using Egyptian peppermint, this premium loose leaf mint tea delivers a bold, aromatic infusion packed with natural menthol notes, without the bitterness sometimes associated with stronger herbal teas.

Inspired by traditional Egyptian mint infusions, this naturally caffeine-free herbal tea produces a beautiful golden-green brew with a refreshing peppermint aroma. The loose leaf format allows the peppermint leaves to move freely as they infuse, gradually releasing their distinctive flavour and giving you greater control over the strength of each cup. It's particularly enjoyable after a meal, as a refreshing afternoon drink or as a soothing, caffeine-free alternative to traditional tea in the evening.

How much loose leaf peppermint tea should I use per cup?

A good starting point is approximately 2–3g of loose peppermint leaves per 200–250ml of water, although the amount can be adjusted depending on how strong you prefer your tea. Peppermint is naturally aromatic, so even a relatively small quantity can produce a wonderfully fragrant infusion.

How many cups of tea can I make from a 250g pack?

Using approximately 2–3g of loose peppermint tea per cup, a 250g pack will make around 80–125 cups. The exact number depends on your preferred brewing strength and serving size, making it a practical option for regular peppermint tea drinkers and hospitality service.

Can loose leaf peppermint tea be used in cooking and baking?

Yes, peppermint tea is a lovely way to introduce a gentle mint flavour into desserts and sweet recipes. The leaves can be infused in warm milk, cream or sugar syrup before being strained, allowing their flavour to be incorporated into chocolate ganache, panna cotta, ice cream and fruit compotes. Peppermint pairs particularly well with dark chocolate, lemon, strawberries and raspberries.
