About us
Welcome to Veramint, where our passion for delicious teas meets a commitment to health, sustainability, and community! We are here to bring you a wonderful range of flavoured teas crafted from homegrown mint and carefully selected ingredients.
Why choose us?
At Veramint, we think of mint tea as more than just a drink; it's a lifestyle choice that improves well-being, so why not also make it bring a bit of joy to everyday life? Our goal is to provide tea lovers with an exciting variety of flavours that inspire health as well as happiness.
We are proud to grow our own mint organically, ensuring that every cup you enjoy is not only delightful but also supports sustainable practices. While we are currently working towards making all our ingredients organic and locally grown, we are committed to sourcing the best quality products to complement our mint.
Our team
As a team of three, we pour our hearts into every aspect of Veramint. We understand the importance of creating a personal connection with our customers, and we aim to cultivate a community of mint tea enthusiasts. We plan to make your experience with us supportive and memorable, whether you want to try unique blends or simply love the classic taste of mint grown with care.
Brand & Product Creator - “Having previously worked with a small herb company, I understand how important it is to focus not only on the quality of the product, but also on the people who enjoy it. I've always had a love for plants (especially mint) and that's what inspired me to combine my hobby with my background in catering and design to grow Veramint into a fun and purpose-driven brand.”
How it started
Veramint began life as a simple gardening blog, with a particular focus on growing mint (which is obviously the greatest herb). However, it quickly evolved into a place where our passion for cultivating unique mint varieties could blend with our natural British love of tea. While there's a refreshing simplicity to plain mint teas, we noticed that there weren't many different options available, and few used varieties outside of the common classics. That's why we set out to develop new blends that have a delicate yet nuanced taste.
Behind the scenes
Preparing our mint is a careful, hands-on process. The mint is cultivated outdoors in nutrient-rich organic soil, ensuring each leaf is of the highest quality. We prioritise natural pest control methods and only use organic, food-grade pesticides approved for edible crops when absolutely necessary, to keep our plants happy while upholding standards of safety and sustainability. Fresh new growth is harvested using clean gardening scissors, then thoroughly washed and rinsed in filtered water before processing.
To help maintain their taste and some of their vibrant green colour, the mint is partially air-dried before being fully dried at a low temperature using a dehydrator. To preserve the unique characteristics of each variety, the flowers are removed to avoid cross-pollination. This production process takes place in a dedicated, isolated room that is kept sanitary at all times. During October or November, we may perform a final harvest of our mint before the plants go dormant for the winter. We follow our regular procedure, then store the dried mint in sealed containers, kept in a cool, dry, and dark location. This stock is used throughout the colder months until the mint returns in late spring, fresh and ready for a new season of blends.
For our additional ingredients, we spend time researching trusted brands to find the best balance of purity and affordability, aiming to create teas that support wellbeing, taste great, and are fairly priced. These ingredients are stored in the correct conditions. To ensure your safety and satisfaction, the use by date of our blends will be 6 months after production, though individual ingredients will typically have a longer shelf life.
