## About
After a long dinner, a dropper of this stirred into warm water: cold at the first taste, then a slow, spreading warmth, the way real peppermint always behaves.It is true peppermint, Mentha × piperita, grown in Mitcham, England, the strain long prized above all others for the purity and strength of its menthol. Extracted at a 1:4 ratio in 50% alcohol, it carries the leaf's oil at real strength rather than as a diluted echo.Peppermint grew in the physic gardens of medieval monasteries, where herbalist monks kept it among the plants worth a garden bed of its own, and it has been an after-dinner herb ever since, a habit handed down largely unchanged to this bottle.DetailsBotanical name: Mentha × piperitaGrown in: Mitcham, EnglandExtract: 1:4 in 50% alcohol by volumeSize: 50 mlHow to useStir a dropper into warm water after eating, whenever you want a little comfort after a meal.
