About the Mint Herbal Blend Tea
Starbucks Mint Herbal Blend Tea costs £3.15 for a Tall, carries 4 calories in a Grande and contains no caffeine at all. Spearmint and peppermint make up the blend with a little lemon verbena, and none of the three comes from the tea plant, which is why it is a herbal blend rather than a tea.
The two mints do different jobs. Spearmint is the softer, sweeter one and carries the body of the cup; peppermint brings the menthol and the cold finish at the back of the throat. Lemon verbena sits underneath both and keeps it from tasting like toothpaste, which is where most mint infusions end up. Brewed properly the liquor is pale straw coloured and smells stronger than it tastes.
Zero caffeine is the reason most people order it, and it is one of only a handful of drinks on the Starbucks UK menu that can honestly claim it. Calories are 4 in a Short, Tall and Grande and 9 in a Venti. Carbohydrate is 0.6g in a Grande with no sugar. Prices run £3.15 for a Tall, £3.95 for a Grande and £4.30 for a Venti.
Peppermint is also the one drink on the menu with a genuine practical use beyond taste. Peppermint oil relaxes the smooth muscle of the gut, which is why it turns up in remedies for indigestion, and a hot cup after a heavy meal is not just folklore. The amount in a tea bag is small compared with a capsule, so treat it as mild rather than medicinal. It is still a better reason to order one after lunch than most drinks on the board can offer.
Unlike black and green tea, this one cannot be over brewed into bitterness, because there are no tannins in mint to turn. Leave the bag in as long as you like and it simply gets stronger. That makes it the easiest thing on the tea menu to get right, and a reasonable order last thing in the evening. The Hibiscus Herbal Blend is the other caffeine free infusion, and the Classic Hot Chocolate is the caffeine free option when tea is not what you want.

How to Make a Mint Herbal Blend Tea at Home
Fresh mint makes a completely different drink from a bag, and it takes about a minute to put together.
Ingredients
Infusion
Method
0 of 4 stepsTips
- Stems carry as much flavour as leaves. Do not pick the mint apart.
- Cover the cup while it steeps. Uncovered, half the mint oil is gone before you drink it.
- A mix of spearmint and peppermint is closer to the Starbucks blend than either on its own.
Variations
- Moroccan style: mint with green tea and plenty of sugar, though that reintroduces caffeine.
- Iced over plenty of ice with a squeeze of lime.
- A teaspoon of honey suits it, and it is the one herbal infusion where honey does not overwhelm.
In a glass rather than a mug so you can see it. No milk, which curdles against the lemon and kills the mint.

Starbucks near meMint Herbal Blend Tea Questions
Does Starbucks Mint Tea have caffeine?
No. It carries 0mg, because spearmint, peppermint and lemon verbena are herbs rather than tea leaves. It is one of the few genuinely caffeine free drinks on the Starbucks UK menu.
How much is Mint Herbal Blend Tea at Starbucks UK?
A Tall is £3.15, a Grande £3.95 and a Venti £4.30.
How many calories are in Starbucks Mint Tea?
4 calories in a Short, Tall or Grande and 9 in a Venti, with no sugar.
Can I leave the mint tea bag in too long?
No harm in it. Mint has no tannins to turn bitter, so a long steep just makes a stronger cup. Black and green tea both punish that, which is why this one is easier to get right.
Is Mint Herbal Blend Tea actually tea?
Not in the strict sense. Tea comes from the camellia sinensis plant and none of these three ingredients does, which is why Starbucks calls it a herbal blend rather than a tea.
