Product Review

One of our favorite sources of organic spearmint is from the Sakaran Society Development Association, named after the village of Sakaran in Egypt (about one-and-a-half hours south of Cairo). This Association gave a way for this community to develop additional sources of income and enhance their quality of life. Currently, about 78 farmers cultivate organic spearmint, as well as other organic herbs, on four farms, all of which are Fair Trade Certified. The farmers use the Fair Trade premium they receive for necessary community development improvements.
