We grow, harvest and distil our signature Black Mitcham peppermint on our farm in Hampshire - and have been doing so for over 25 years. Its refined, distinctive taste inspires our wonderfully refreshing range of chocolates, teas and treats.
The intense wave of mint that hits you as you open a box of Summerdown should transport you straight to the fields on our farm at Summerdown – a peppermint playground for peacocks, bees and butterflies. Black Mitcham is an extraordinary peppermint prized for its pure, bright character. It’s a taste that had been all but lost to England, until we brought some back from America over three decades ago and began cultivating it ourselves. We now grow around 100 acres of Black Mitcham, transforming it into our own single-estate peppermint oil, so that we can share its unique qualities with mint-lovers across the world.
