Green Tea & Mint: A Review of Heath & Heather's Organic Herbal Tea Bags

Green tea and mint are a classic pairing that combines the grassy, slightly vegetal notes of green tea with the cool, invigorating kick of mint. Whether you enjoy them separately or together, this duo offers a refreshing pick-me-up any time of day. In this review, we explore how Heath & Heather's organic herbal tea bags can help you create the perfect cup.

Heath & Heather is the UK's No. 1 Herbal Tea & Infusion Specialist, known for their commitment to organic ingredients and rich, authentic flavours. Their range includes a variety of single-origin teas and blends that cater to every palate. We tested two of their most popular options to see how they perform in a green-tea-and-mint context.

Why Green Tea and Mint Work So Well Together

Green tea is prized for its antioxidant content and gentle energy boost, while mint is renowned for its digestive benefits and refreshing taste. When combined, the mint’s coolness cuts through green tea’s natural earthiness, creating a balanced and uplifting brew. This blend is ideal for morning or afternoon sipping, and it can be enjoyed hot or iced.

For our review, we focused on the Imperial Matcha Green Tea Organic Herbal Tea Bags from Heath & Heather. Matcha is a powdered green tea that delivers a creamy, umami-rich flavour with a vibrant green colour. We paired it with the Peppermint Organic Herbal Tea Bags, which are known for their crisp, clean menthol notes. Together, they produce a cup that is both calming and energising.

• Try brewing one bag of Imperial Matcha Green Tea and one bag of Peppermint together in a large mug for 3–4 minutes.
• For a cooler version, steep both teas, remove bags, and pour over ice with a slice of lemon.

Tasting Notes: Imperial Matcha Green Tea vs. Peppermint

The Imperial Matcha Green Tea Organic Herbal Tea Bags offer a smooth, full-bodied matcha experience without the need for whisking. The flavour is subtly sweet with a hint of grassiness and a lingering umami finish. It's a premium green tea that stands well on its own, but it also blends harmoniously with mint.

The Peppermint Organic Herbal Tea Bags are equally impressive. Made from pure peppermint leaves, they deliver a bold, refreshing mintiness that is never bitter. The aroma is invigorating, and the taste is clean and soothing. When combined with the matcha, the mint brightens the overall profile and adds a layer of complexity that makes each sip interesting.

How to Create Your Own Green Tea & Mint Blend at Home

If you want to experiment with different ratios, start with one bag of Imperial Matcha Green Tea and half a bag of Peppermint. Adjust to your taste—more mint for a cooler brew, more matcha for a creamier texture. You can also try adding a touch of honey or a squeeze of lemon to enhance the flavours.

For a caffeine-free alternative, consider swapping the green tea for a herbal base like Camomile Organic Herbal Tea Bags. While not a green tea, camomile's apple-like sweetness pairs surprisingly well with mint and creates a calming evening drink. The key is to always use organic tea bags from a trusted source like Heath & Heather to ensure purity and flavour.

• Use filtered water heated to around 80°C (not boiling) to avoid bitterness in the green tea.
• Steep for 2–3 minutes for a lighter flavour, or up to 5 minutes for a stronger mint kick.
