I bought Bewleys Peppermint Tea a few years ago & the mint taste and smell were amazing. Streets ahead of any peppermint tea on the market.
Recently I bought a few boxes (online direct from Bewleys), expecting the same quality, and although it is still a nice tea, I was disappointed as the mint in it is barely noticeable.
I recall on previous purchases smelling the empty mint tea sachet hours later as the mint smell was so strong! Not so anymore. They’ve obviously changed the formula. Maybe they had added a mint essential oil when I purchased years ago, I don’t know. I got the mint loose leaves also and they are fine, just not exceptional.
Still a fan of Bewleys but please bring back the old formula!
