Herbal Tea. Eco Mini Grow-Kit Peppermint

Grow your own peppermint for fresh herbal tea straight from the windowsill. This complete mini kit makes it simple to cultivate the aromatic leaves that have been used for centuries to brew refreshing, naturally caffeine-free tea with a cool, minty kick.

There's something brilliant about snipping fresh peppermint leaves you've grown yourself. The intense, cooling flavour is far superior to dried shop-bought versions - perfect for hot tea, iced drinks, or adding to summer cocktails and cooking. Peppermint is also incredibly vigorous once established, so you'll have a constant supply throughout the growing season.

What makes it work: Each kit includes batch-tested peppermint seeds with enough to plant across several pots if you fancy multiple plants. The coir soil discs expand when watered, creating the perfect growing medium. Wooden plant markers help you keep track, and the step-by-step guide walks you through everything - ideal for first-time growers and experienced gardeners alike.

How to grow it: Soak the coir discs until they expand, scatter the tiny seeds on top (press lightly but don't bury them), and keep moist. Peppermint prefers partial shade to full sun and consistently moist soil. Seeds typically germinate within 10-21 days, with leaves ready to harvest around 8-12 weeks later. Pick leaves regularly to encourage bushy growth - the more you harvest, the more it produces.

Why choose this kit? The packaging is recyclable, so there's no plastic waste heading to landfill. It makes a thoughtful gift for tea lovers, keen gardeners, or anyone interested in growing their own herbs. We batch-test every seed variety to ensure strong germination and healthy plants. Once established, peppermint comes back year after year as a hardy perennial.
