This soft, sweet, and herbaceous peppermint is a summertime variation of classic peppermint, cultivated in the Yakima Valley, Washington. The long summer days and cooler nights encourage the production of sweet, herbal monoterpenes and lactones, giving this oil a refreshing, candy-like mint aroma that is both uplifting and soothing.
Yakima Valley Peppermint is 100% pure Mentha piperita, steam-distilled from organic leaves, and offers the signature cooling sensation of peppermint without being overpowering—perfect for delicate palettes and sensitive noses.
