Tata Consumer Products, a subsidiary of the global conglomerate Tata Group, owns Teapigs- alongside multiple other tea brands-yet there is nothing industrial about this tea. Liquorice and peppermint have long been allies in the herbal world, prized for their natural sweetness and digestive benefits. This classic pairing delivers a refreshing and caffeine-free alternative to tea, ideal after a meal or for a comforting evening brew. Liquorice root lends a lingering, mellow sweetness and peppermint provides a clean, cooling lift. Together, they're a time-honoured remedy for bloating, indigestion and frayed nerves.

How to serve

Infuse at 90C for five minutes. Best enjoyed without milk, but a drizzle of honey can enhance the natural sweetness. Teapigs popularised large pyramid-shaped woven teabags and the extra space in the bag does allow for a good infusion.
