Here comes black mitcham mint in its purest form. The pyramid bags contain a rough cut of the dark green, highly fragrant leaves. Added to this is the rarely intense, pure essential oil, which is extracted in Summerdown's own distillery. With its clear freshness and powerful flavor, this tea is unparalleled - and we are convinced that it will be hard to find. If you take a deep breath after a sip of this delicious hot drink, you will immediately notice a distinct feeling of cool freshness in the mouth and throat - that's how intense the mint is.

Until the early 20th century, England was famous for its exceptionally good mint. Sir Michael Colman (1928-2023), a mustard manufacturer who had been involved in spices and pungency for more than four decades, decided in 1995 to revive this quality and counter the often inharmonious peppermint oils, mostly imported from Asia, with the clear, balanced taste of English peppermint. To this end, he founded a farm in Hampshire where he had the essential oil of the famous Black Mitcham mint extracted from the field-fresh plants immediately after harvesting - in a specially constructed distillery. The result is a rare, intense, pure peppermint oil that is second to none and is still responsible for the incomparably good taste of Summerdown's products today.
