Acknowledged as the best quality Peppermint available, English Peppermint is at the luxury end of the market. The normal American mentha piperita tends to go into products such as toothpaste and confectionery. English peppermint (also known as Mitcham Peppermint) is used for after-dinner mints, mint liqueurs and is popular after a bout of over-indulgence.It is a much smoother, fuller and more rounded oil than the standard product. It has an unusually high content of methylesters (giving excellent body and sweetness) and a modest content of the bitter tasting ketone, Menthone.Mice and rats dislike the smell of peppermint so sprinkled on runs can act as a useful deterrent. It is also a good insect repellent.
