Tucked away in the Hampshire countryside, Summerdown is the kind of place that makes you want to slow the pace right down. For almost 30 years, this family farm has been growing, harvesting and distilling its very own Black Mitcham peppermint – a rare English variety with a wonderfully fresh, uplifting flavour and scent.

Forget anything you think you know about peppermint. Summerdown’s is vibrant, aromatic and completely unique, thanks to the care that goes into growing it sustainably on the farm. The result? A beautiful range of products that turns this humble herb into something rather special.

Chocolate is the star of the show here. Think silky Dark Chocolate Peppermint Creams, crisp peppermint thins, indulgent truffles, bars and gift collections, all made with Summerdown’s signature peppermint oil. There’s also a brilliant tea range, from pure English peppermint pyramids to calming peppermint and camomile blends – perfect for a quiet five minutes.

The peppermint magic doesn’t stop at the kitchen cupboard. The body, bath and home fragrance collection brings that clean, invigorating scent indoors with beautifully made soaps, lotions, candles, room sprays and reed diffusers.

And if you fancy making a proper escape of it, The Meadow at Summerdown brings together four cosy shepherd’s huts and the new Pavilion events space – a peaceful, generous place to gather, celebrate or simply switch off surrounded by Hampshire countryside.
