The wild-growing peppermint, one of innumerable mint varieties, can only be found in Central and Southern Europe. It is cultivated in North America as well as the entire European and Northern African territory. Peppermint has a pure, refreshing, menthol like character.

It is suspected that it is also due to this that the NANA-Mint (# 22498, p. 127) with its distinct spearmint flavour was formed.
There are approximately 55 different varieties of lemon grass, which belongs to the family of sweet grass plants. Lemon grass has its origin in South East Asia, Sri Lanka, India and Australia.

However, the fresh stalk of lemon grass has an extraordinary, slightly rose-like and fresh, lemon aroma with an exotic note of its own. The fresh or dried leaves are also used in tea blends for a thirst-quenching effect. This very popular variety is imported from Thailand..

Classic herbs and spices such as fennel, sage, chamomile and aniseed are given a great visual boost here by the white, puffed buckwheat. The taste of this blend is pleasantly sweet and mild. Notes of sweet honey, caramel and maple also delight your palate..
