Mint is an aromatic, perennial plant that thrives in moist soil and wet environments. It is fast-growing and able to handle a wide range of conditions, from partial shade to full sun. It has numerous species, and many hybrids and cultivars are known. It propagates by pollination through bees, and also through rhizomes, referring to the horizontal root-type structure that contains food reserves. Leaf colors range from dark green, gray-green to purple blue and even pale yellow, with the leaves and stems commonly harvested for culinary and medicinal uses. While we don’t offer health or medical advice as a company, we do work closely with our customers to select mint oils that suit their needs when it comes to product claims for health, sustainability, naturalness and traceability.

Many varieties of mint are grown for their leaves (for tea and herbs), as well as for oil and ornamental reasons. These varities include spearmint, arvensis, peppermint and Mentha Citrata.
