Peppermint (Mentha x piperita) is a flowering perennial herb that originated in Europe and has spread worldwide. A natural hybrid of spearmint (Mentha spicata) and water mint (Mentha aquatica), peppermint is celebrated for its cool, refreshing flavor and invigorating aroma. Its leaves are commonly steeped as tea, incorporated into herbal blends, or used in culinary dishes. The herb contains a distinctive essential oil known for its high quality and vibrant flavor, which cannot be effectively replicated by artificial compounds.

Peppermint is widely appreciated for its versatility and its ability to support everyday wellness. Many enjoy peppermint tea for its naturally cooling and soothing properties, particularly after meals, as it is known to promote a sense of comfort in the digestive system. Its invigorating scent is often used to awaken the senses and promote clarity. In the culinary world, peppermint shines in both sweet and savory dishes. It flavors candies, desserts, teas, and cocktails, and in Middle Eastern cooking, it enhances spice rubs, meats, yogurts, and cheese-based dishes. In Japan, peppermint oil is even diffused into air systems to energize workers.

With its long history of use, peppermint remains a beloved herb for both its refreshing qualities and its gentle digestive support.
