The use of mint is documented in the Bible and in herbal manuals of ancient apothecaries. In those times, mint was a different plant closely related to the bland “horse mint” or “wild mint.” It is only through thousands of years of horticulture that we now have such a potently aromatic and invigorating herb as Spearmint.

Spearmint is appreciated chiefly for its high oil content and “double mint” flavour. We owe a debt of gratitude to our forbearers for giving us this wonderful and luscious plant.

Tasting pleasant, but nothing like the fruit, Raspberry leaves have been used since ancient times in the folk remedies of many cultures. Today, the tradition continues with Raspberry leaf as one of the most important herbs in North American and European folk medicine.
