This peppermint is grown organically in the most fertile soil in Bulgaria, the Thracian Valley, known as the famous Valley of Roses. The climate of this lowland plain in Bulgaria is strongly influenced by the Mediterranean Sea, the Black Sea and the Balkan Mountains (600-3000 metres). Two climate zones meet here: the temperate continental climate and the Mediterranean climate, with more than 200 days of sunshine a year and the influence of the warm winds from the Aegean and the Black Sea. This unique combination of climatic influences gives the Bulgarian terroir its typical, subtle character and allows the peppermint plants to develop their flavours and active ingredients such as menthol, piperitone, menthone and alpha-pinene. Peppermint is harvested during the flowering period in the summer months and distilled using gentle steam. This oil is particularly well-balanced to bring out the best in its fragrance properties.

Finest Origin - Highest Grade
Farm
We source this essential oil from a producer based in the famous 'Valley of Roses' in Thrace, Bulgaria. The company is dedicated to producing and distilling essential oils of the highest therapeutic quality using only organic and sustainable cultivation and manufacturing methods. The "seed-to-bottle" approach means that the entire production process from field to distillation and packaging is carried out by hand. After harvesting, distilling takes place in the company's own distillation plant, which is constructed from food-grade stainless steel. All oils are labelled with the European organic certificates.
Pfefferminze
The peppermint (Mentha × piperita) is a hybrid species of mint, a cross between water mint (Mentha aquatica) and spearmint (Mentha spicata). It is native to western, central and southern Europe and occasionally occurs together with its parent species in the wild. The plant is now widespread and is cultivated in many regions of the world. Peppermint is a perennial, 30 to 100 cm tall plant. It has smooth, squared stems, dark green leaves with reddish veins and purple flowers that grow in whorls (Verticillaster), which are arranged around the stem and form thick, blunt spikes. The plant blooms throughout the summer months. Peppermint has been used for thousands of years in various medical systems as medicine, food and perfume, from ancient Egypt to Greek, Rome and China, to modern Western herbalism. The essential oil contains menthol, a chemical component that produces a cooling sensation and is also known to relieve tension headaches and muscle aches. In TCM, peppermint is believed to activate the Qi and strengthen the Shen (spirit), promoting alertness, motivation and self-confidence.
Aroma
The fresh, strongly cooling, minty green and slightly floral aroma with a sweet note on the finish is perceived as clarifying, cooling and energising. The fragrance promotes focus and concentration, making it the perfect companion for learning, studying and working.
