Mentha × piperita | Black Menthe variety
Alpine Peppermint is a fresh, aromatic dried peppermint leaf grown on our family land in the Snowy Mountains, NSW. Harvested and dried in small seasonal batches, this Black Menthe variety has a naturally strong mint aroma, deep green colour, and crisp herbal flavour.
This is one of our highest-turnover herbs for good reason. It is simple, versatile, and easy to use across tea, food, infusions, bath blends, steam bowls, and natural skincare preparations.
Use it as a refreshing loose herbal tea, blend it with other botanicals, add it to bath soaks, infuse it into oils, or keep it in your home apothecary for everyday making.
Suggested Uses
Tea
Steep as a fresh, cooling herbal tea on its own or blend with herbs such as lemon balm, chamomile, calendula, elderflower, or green tea.

Infuse into oil, vinegar, honey, or water-based preparations depending on your project.
