Premium Egyptian Dried Mint

Egyptian peppermint (Mentha piperita) is a major export herb from the Nile Delta, valued specifically for the tea, pharmaceutical, and oral care industries. Egypt is recognized as one of the primary sources of peppermint leaf for the European herbal tea market, supplying buyers in Germany, France, and the Netherlands year-round.
The peak harvest season runs from April through June, producing leaves with the highest menthol concentration and deepest green color. Egyptian farms in Beni Suef deliver multiple cuts per growing season, giving buyers supply continuity that single-harvest origins cannot match.
Menthol content in Egyptian peppermint typically runs 1.5 to 3.0% essential oil v/w, suitable for herbal tea blending, pharmaceutical applications, confectionery flavoring, and oral care manufacturing. Buyers specifying minimum menthol percentages for pharmaceutical-grade applications should request batch-specific COA with volatile oil analysis.
EU Organic certified supply is available from select Beni Suef farms with dual USDA NOP certification on request. Pesticide residue testing against EU MRL standards including chlorpyrifos and dimethoate screening is provided as standard.
Available grades: whole dried leaves for premium tea applications, cut and sifted for standard blending, and milled powder for extract and flavoring production. Packed in 20kg polypropylene bags or double-layer kraft sacks with polyethylene lining.
Primary export markets: Germany, Netherlands, France, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and United States. Lead time 3 to 4 weeks after deposit. Free sample available before bulk order.
