Peppermint Willamette Essential Oil is the same species, Mentha piperita, as our classic Peppermint Essential Oil with a greener aroma and a more tender touch. The high altitude of the Willamette Valley in Oregon as well as mild, wet winters provide the unique terroir to our soft, lush Peppermint. It still feels as nice as ice yet with a little less intensity.
It is most pleasant to place a drop straight in the mouth or on a toothbrush to sweeten the breath, and a drop in honey or a glass of water can calm grumbly tummies. Due to its softer nature, Peppermint Willamette may be the more enjoyable option for those seeking a softer mint.
