Mint Leaves, Broken, Organic: Peppermint and Spearmint
Spearmint and peppermint are the leaves of the perennial herb which are used fresh or picked and dried for longer storage. These herbs retain much flavor when dried and produce a strong taste. Mint leaves have a pure and refreshing odor accompanied by a pungent and burning taste.
