I find it interesting that Bigelow offers both this pure peppermint herbal tea, and the mint medley blend. The mint medley is more widely available and I prefer it, because I like spearmint more than peppermint in herbal teas. Both I think are quite good.

There are aspects of this pure peppermint tea that I like better than a number of other peppermint teas on the market.

In particular, this peppermint tea has some complexity to it, some rich herbaceous qualities. It is not as pure and candy-like, which is a plus for me, as I like the leafy, herbal qualities, they remind me more of brewing up an iced tea made from peppermint in the garden.

Just to clarify, the reason I'm rating this as "overpriced" is not because I think it is at all low quality, but just because, where I live, peppermint grows like a weed, so I'm unlikely to actually buy it.

So while I think Bigelow's peppermint tea bags are quite good, I'm unlikely to purchase them on my own.
