But recently Nestle has shaken things up by launching limited edition After Eight Orange & Mint and After Eight Mojito & Mint. The After Eights were rated on their aroma (20%), texture (10%) and most importantly their taste (70%). The mixture of flavours was considered well balanced; the orange isn't too strong and it's not too minty either.The mints were originally manufactured at Rowntree's York factory, before production transferred to Castleford, West Yorkshire, in 1970. For the UK market they are now manufactured in Halifax following Nestlé's closure of the Castleford factory in 2012. However on the limited edition 2020 casing it states "made in Germany, with sugar not solely of German origin". "More than 1bn After Eights, thin fondant mints, are made every year in the Castleford factory scheduled for closure in 2012 by the Switzerland-based confectionery giant."
