Mint
Freshness Elevated by Altitude
Salient mint is defined by its crisp aroma, cool undertone, and exceptional essential-oil content. Grown in the misty mornings and oxygen-rich air of the Aberdare highlands, each leaf carries a freshness that lingers long after harvest. Its clean, invigorating scent is a natural signature of its environment.
Growing Conditions
Mint flourishes in our cool, high-altitude microclimate where sunlight and moisture provide ideal conditions for oil concentration. The soil’s rich mineral profile enhances both flavour and longevity. This balance produces mint that stays aromatic whether used fresh, dried, or frozen.
Quality & Handling
We harvest mint gently before sunrise to preserve its menthol oils and vivid green colour. Leaves are handled minimally, avoiding sun exposure and overheating to maintain integrity. This approach ensures that every shipment arrives with its fragrance, freshness, and structure intact.

Mint is naturally rich in antioxidants, menthol, and vitamins A and C—supporting digestion, respiratory health, and mental clarity. It performs exceptionally well in teas, salads, sauces, desserts, cocktails, and garnishes. Its clean cooling effect enhances both delicate and bold flavours without overwhelming them.
