Ingredients
100 % Mint leavesBrew & Taste
Mint produces a pale yellow infusion that smells and tastes like menthol or peppermint.
Origins
Peppermint (Mentha piperita) leaves are harvested throughout the summer. The perennial herb is probably native to Western Europe.
Mint plants reach 50-80cm, the stems are straight, quadrangular, hairy and the leaves are ovate. Peppermint blooms from July to October with light purple flowers.
Mint is cut just before flowering, even twice a year, preferably around midday when it contains maximum essential oils. It is dried carefully, in the shade, at temperatures not exceeding 35⁰C. The dried herb should be kept in a dark, dry place.
There are many legends and myths surrounding mint and its use. It's found in wedding rituals, in homes where it is supposed to summon love, and in pantries where it drives away mice. Europeans quite literally can't avoid it – mint is found in toothpaste, chewing gum, mouthwash, massage gels and sweets. It is used in beverages and in the curing of meats as well as processing of vegetables.
