Not a favorite, but popular enough to mention; Manuka Mint
Type; Herbal
Price; £ 6.80 for 100 grams from Anteaques.
Reasoning; While mint tea's are renown for their fine taste after a meal, or simply to refresh after a long day, the element added, the Manuka, greatly adds to this. Manuka is a very healthy product with natural antibiotic, and anti-fungal properties to it. It certainly adds to the body of the taste, while not over powering it so that the first thought that comes to mind is a sharp mint that has been freshly picked.

Again an amount of 3 grams is roughly usable for a pot of tea, with a longer brewing time of roughly 6 minutes.
I have not seen many variations on this tea, and the only supplier I know of immediately is Anteaques, http://anteaques.co.uk/infusions/manukamint , but mint tea alone is common enough, and flavoring can be added to suit the drinker.
