Mentha piperita.

With dried leaves found in Egyptian pyramids dating back to 1000 BC, the history of Peppermint is rooted in Greek mythology. Legend has it that Pluto, enamoured with the nymph Minthe, saw her transformed into a plant by his jealous wife Persephone. Unable to reverse the spell, Pluto gifted Minthe with a sweet, enduring scent, enchanting gardens for centuries.
