Description
The best peppermint comes from the Northwestern United States where the mountain air is pure and humid in the spring and early summer. It is believed to be a derivative of spearmint, but peppermint has been known and used for so long that its origin remains obscure.
Peppermint is an herb that does not contain caffeine, and is often consumed after meals to aid digestion. In addition to calming the digestive system, it helps relieve heartburn and nausea.
