What it is

Peppermint tea leaf comes from the peppermint plant (Mentha piperita), a hybrid mint species. The leaves are harvested, dried, and often cut or ground for use in beverages and other food products. Peppermint is known for its distinct, refreshing aroma and flavor.

Why it's used

Peppermint leaf is primarily used to impart a minty flavor and aroma to foods and beverages. It is most commonly found in teas, but also appears in candies, chewing gum, baked goods, and some savory dishes. Its strong flavor can help mask other tastes or add a refreshing note.

Health notes

Peppermint leaf is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a flavoring. It is not typically associated with adverse health effects at the levels found in food. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated peppermint and its extracts, and have established safety profiles. Some studies suggest potential benefits for digestive health, but more research is needed to confirm these effects.

Allergen info

Peppermint leaf is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
