Customer Reviews

Alistair Vance As an expat living in New York, finding a taste of home can be tough, but cracking open a roll of Trebor Extra Strong Mints instantly takes me back to my childhood summers in Manchester. The crunch of that dense, compressed tablet is exactly how I remember it, and that unmistakable, eye-watering blast of real peppermint oil clears my senses like nothing else on the American market. I always make sure to bulk-order a dozen rolls online because no standard US mint even comes close to this level of intense, long-lasting freshness.

Eleanor Higgins I recently ordered a variety pack containing the Trebor Softmints and Soft Fruits for a British-themed gathering, and they were an absolute hit with everyone. The Softmints have this incredible, satisfying duality where you crack through a crisp outer shell right into a pillowy, chewy center that leaves a perfectly clean spearmint aftertaste. The Soft Fruits were equally impressive, offering a nostalgic, juicy chew that didn’t feel overly synthetic, making them a massive upgrade from the usual gummy candies I buy.

Callum Brooks There is something deeply comforting about the Nostalgic Chews line, especially the fizzy-centered Refreshers which I haven’t tasted in nearly fifteen years. Biting into that retro fruit chew and hitting the sharp, tingling sherbet center brought back a flood of memories from running down to the local corner shop after school. Even though they are imported and a bit harder to find in local US stores, the authentic British recipe and unmatched flavor profile make every single bite worth the hunt.

Trebor FAQ

What makes Trebor Extra Strong Mints different from regular mints?

Trebor Extra Strong Mints utilize a unique, high-compression manufacturing technique inspired by pharmaceutical pill presses to create a dense, hard tablet that packs an intensely potent punch of natural mint oils.

Are Trebor products readily available in local US grocery stores?

Because Trebor is a UK-based brand owned by Mondelēz International, it is not widely distributed in standard American supermarkets and must usually be purchased through specialty British food importers or online international marketplaces.

What is the unique texture of Trebor Softmints?

Trebor Softmints feature a signature hybrid texture consisting of a crisp, hard outer sugar shell that gives way to a soft, pliable, and chewy mint center.

Are there any fruit-flavored options available from Trebor?

Yes, Trebor offers Soft Fruits, which use the same crisp-and-chewy texture as Softmints but with a sweet fruit infusion, alongside classic sweetshop chews like the fizzy-centered Refreshers.

Why can’t I find an independent corporate office for Trebor in the United States?

Trebor is managed globally under the multinational conglomerate Mondelēz International, Inc., meaning all formal US inquiries or distribution matters are handled directly through the Mondelēz corporate headquarters in Chicago.
