Story
Indigenous to Europe and Asia, peppermint has been naturalized in North America and is found near streams and in other wet sites. It is cultivated for its essential oil . Natural hybridization among wild species has yielded many varieties of peppermint, but only two, the black and the white, are recognized by growers. The former has purplish and the latter green stems. Black peppermint, is extensively grown in the United States. The white variety is less hardy and less productive, but its oil is considered more delicate.
"I've tried peppermint tea from other sellers, but this is definitely the best. Alone, it was strong, but not harsh, and it also blends very well with other flavors. I even used some of the peppermint tea in a batch of brownies and got rave reviews! This is as close to a must-buy as you can get."
