Organic dried spearmint

Peppermint is an aromatic perennial herb of the mint family Lamiaceae, distributed in Europe and Asia. It has a delicate, slightly sweet aroma reminiscent of fresh green leaves. Unlike the common mint, which is high in menthol, this variety of Mentha spicata has no (or very little) menthol, so the taste is milder and less pungent.
