Baldwins Peppermint Herb ( Mentha Piperita )

100% Pure Peppermint Leaves

Peppermint (Mentha piperita) was first bred in the UK and is a hybrid of Water mint (Mentha aquatica) & Spearmint (Mentha spicata).

Now cultivated in many countres, all over Europe and beyond; we source the majority of our stocks from Poland.

The leaves of peppermint contain up to 1% volatile oil (mainly Menthol at up to 48%) & Menthone (at up to 30%).

Peppermint is another great Carminative (wind relieving) herb (due to the constituent volatile oils) and is a great after-dinner tea.

A tea can be made thusly:

Add 250ml of boiling water added to 1 heaped teaspoon (5 grams approx) per person and left to steep for five to ten minutes - drinking three to four portions a day (750ml-1litre daily)."
