Ahhhh, nice cuppa tea! This is my first thought normally in the morning when I wake up. This is not ordinary tea like you would buy from Tesco but this is peppermint tea. When I first tried it I wasn't sure if I would even like it so this necessitated a somewhat unsure buy of peppermint tea.

The first box I bought was from Twinings and I didn't feel the flavour was quite there so the second box I bought was the ASDA Peppermint Tea bags.

There are 20 tea bags per box and the only ingredients listed are 'Selected Peppermint Leaves' so no fear of any extra ingredient that might be additives or anything like that.

It is made with peppermint leaves and does leave you with a refreshing minty flavour just as it says on the box.

The box tells you how to prepare the tea if you would like a medium strength cup of tea or a stronger brew. It also gives you directions on preparing in a pot. This is quite similar to preparing for a regular cup of tea.

These peppermint tea bags are suitable for vegetarians and it does say so on the box.

They also have a number and a website where you can contact them if need be for any reason.

I really liked the ASDA peppermint tea bags. I put a level teaspoon of raw sugar for just that extra bit of sweetness and it reminds me of a peppermint stick. I have always liked peppermint sticks and I guess that is part of the reason I decided to try the tea bags.

I have noticed that it does help with stomach problems as I tend to have upset stomach over different foods that I eat. I haven't had any major colds or allergies lately but then I'm not really prone to them on a normal basis so it could or could not be part of what helps. I have heard it helps with heartburn but I don't normally suffer from that either.

I think the worst part of it is the smell could be offputting and it seems either a person loves it or they hate it. My family hates the smell but they do realize that I do enjoy it so regardless of the complaints the tea keeps getting brewed and they tend to stay away during the time I'm drinking it. At least it does give me a pleasurable few minutes alone to enjoy my tea!

Summary: Helps with stomach problems and the flavour is what I like best
