"Pennyroyal Tea" is a song by the American rock band Nirvana, written by vocalist and guitarist Kurt Cobain. It is the ninth track on the band's third and final studio album, In Utero, released in September 1993.

In November 1993, the song was remixed by Scott Litt, who had earlier remixed the songs "Heart-Shaped Box" and "All Apologies" for the album, in preparation for its release as a single. The Litt remix was included on the censored version of In Utero, released in March 1994.

The "Pennyroyal Tea" single, which would have been the third commercial single from the album, was set for release in April 1994, but cancelled following Cobain's death the same month.[1][2] A few copies survived the recall, and have become among the most sought-after and expensive collectables in Nirvana's catalogue. A planned music video for the song was also cancelled following Cobain's death.

The "Pennyroyal Tea" single was re-released, on limited edition 7 inch vinyl, for Record Store Day in April 2014, and reached number 1 on the Billboard Hot Singles Sales chart.[3][4][5][6][7]
