🌿 Premium Bulk Peppermint Leaf, Grown in the USA Crack open the bag and the first thing you notice is the aroma: a cool, bright mint with a faint sweet hay note (think alfalfa) and a clean camphor finish that almost feels like winter air. That is the sensory profile of this lot of Mentha × piperita, grown in the USA. The leaf is hand harvested, low temperature air dried to keep the menthol crystals and chlorophyll intact, then cut and sifted to a 3 to 8 mm screen. That size is the sweet spot for tea infusers, French presses, and culinary work because it strains cleanly and surrenders its volatile oils quickly in hot water. 🌱 From the Sacred Plant Co Farm.

Product Specifications Attribute Detail Botanical Name Mentha × piperita Common Name Peppermint, Peppermint Leaf Format Cut and Sifted (3 to 8 mm) Available Weights 2 oz, 1/2 lb, 1 lb, 5 lb Tasting Notes Mint, Alfalfa, Camphor Grade Premium Testing Status COA verified per lot (independent third party lab) Country of Origin United States Safety, Cautions, and Traditional Use Peppermint is generally well tolerated as a tea or culinary herb, but a few traditional cautions are worth knowing: GERD and acid reflux. Menthol can relax the lower esophageal sphincter, which may worsen reflux symptoms in some people. Consider reducing strength or frequency if you have chronic heartburn. Infants and very young children. Avoid concentrated peppermint preparations (essential oil, very strong infusions, mentholated topicals) near the face of infants and toddlers due to the risk of a breath holding reflex. Mild diluted tea for older children should be guided by a qualified practitioner. Pregnancy and lactation. Moderate culinary and tea use is considered traditional and is well documented in midwifery literature; avoid concentrated essential oil internally and consult a qualified practitioner if you are pregnant, nursing, or trying to conceive. Gallbladder, bile duct, and certain medications. If you have gallstones, bile duct obstruction, severe liver disease, or take medications metabolized by CYP enzymes (including some immunosuppressants, antacids, or heartburn drugs), check with your practitioner before regular use. Traditional usage range. A common traditional range is 1 to 3 cups of moderate strength tea per day, taken with or after meals. Listen to your body and adjust to your needs.

Anytime, for any reason. 🌿 Frequently Asked Questions How is your peppermint different from typical bulk peppermint I'd find online? The short answer is grown in the USA and proven by paperwork. We air dry this peppermint at low temperatures right after harvest to protect the menthol crystals and chlorophyll, so it comes through in the cup as a fuller, cooler mint with a clean camphor finish and a sweet alfalfa note underneath. Every lot we ship is independently lab tested, and we publish the full Certificate of Analysis history so you can check the exact batch in your hands. We are a soil-first farm at heart, and that transparency, paired with our 100% money-back guarantee, is how we stand behind every herb we carry. Is peppermint safe to drink every day? For most healthy adults, 1 to 3 cups a day is a comfortable traditional range, often taken with or after meals to settle the stomach. The main exceptions we would flag are chronic acid reflux (menthol can relax the valve at the top of the stomach), gallbladder or bile duct conditions, and certain medications metabolized by the liver. If any of that applies to you, ease into a smaller dose and check with a qualified practitioner. Every lot we ship is COA verified by an independent lab, so you know exactly what is in your cup before you decide how much to drink. How fresh is the leaf when it arrives, and how should I store it? We dry this peppermint at low temperatures right after harvest, which keeps the menthol crystals and chlorophyll intact rather than baking them off. When it lands on your doorstep it should smell sharp, cool, and bright the moment you open the bag. Keep it in an airtight glass jar away from heat, light, and humidity, and you will hold that aroma for 12 to 18 months. If yours arrives dull or stale, that is exactly what our 100% money-back guarantee is for. Should I pick peppermint or chamomile if my main goal is digestion? They do different jobs. Peppermint is cooling, opens the gut, and is the one we reach for after a heavy or greasy meal, especially when bloating or gas is the issue. Chamomile is warming and relaxing, better suited to nervous, tight, or stress driven digestive complaints. We compare the two in more depth here, but the short version is that many people end up keeping both in the cupboard and choosing based on the day.
