Dried Spearmint Leaves in Bulk: What a 25 lb Order Looks Like
A 25 lb order of dried spearmint leaves is typically a café running a regular mint tea program, a caterer prepping tabbouleh at volume, or a grocer restocking a bulk-bin herb section. At Levant Direct, dried mint from AbdulRahim Mills is sold wholesale by the case, with exact bag or sack weight — including a 25 lb format — confirmed on your quotation rather than fixed on a listing.
That's how our inquiry-based ordering works generally: tell us the volume you need and we quote to match it, rather than forcing every buyer into one pre-set package size.
What '25 lb' buyers are usually looking for
Searches for a specific weight like 25 lb almost always come from a business, not a home cook — it's a catering-kitchen or retail-bin quantity. Levantine and Arabic dried mint is used constantly at this scale: mint tea service, tabbouleh and fattoush prep, yogurt-mint sauces, and as a finishing herb over grilled meats.
Because the demand is real and recurring, it's worth ordering to your actual weekly or monthly draw rather than the smallest available pack — bulk dried herbs hold their flavour for months when stored properly, so buying to volume doesn't mean buying more than you'll use.
How bulk dried mint is quoted
AbdulRahim Mills' dried mint ships in wholesale case format; the specific bag weight is matched to your order rather than published as a fixed SKU size online. If 25 lb is the number that works for your kitchen or shelf, say so directly in your inquiry and we'll confirm the closest available format and pricing in the quotation.
It's also worth combining dried mint with other herbs and spices in the same inquiry — a mixed order of spices and herbs consolidates into one delivery and tends to quote sharper than several small, separate requests.
Using and storing bulk dried mint
Beyond tea and tabbouleh, dried mint shows up in marinades, yogurt-based dips, and as a background note in several spice blends. For a kitchen going through it weekly, storage matters as much as sourcing: keep it airtight, away from direct light and heat, and rotate stock on a first-in-first-out basis so flavour stays consistent from batch to batch. Our general guide to storing dried herbs and teas covers the specifics.
Planning a bulk mint order around actual usage
The biggest mistake buyers make with a bulk herb like dried mint is ordering to a round number rather than to actual draw. A 25 lb order that sits half-used for six months loses flavour intensity well before it becomes unsafe to use — the tea tastes flatter, the tabbouleh less bright — even though nothing is technically wrong with it.
A better approach is to estimate weekly or monthly usage from your current smaller-format buying, then size the bulk order to roughly a quarter's worth of stock rather than a full year's. That keeps the cost-per-kilo advantage of buying bulk while avoiding the slow flavour fade that comes with sitting inventory. If your volume changes seasonally — more mint tea in summer, for instance — mention that in your inquiry so the reorder cadence can be planned around it rather than guessed at.
Related questions
Is this spearmint or peppermint?
Levantine and Arabic dried mint is typically spearmint-type — milder and sweeter than peppermint, which is why it works so well steeped as tea or stirred into yogurt.
Can I order less than 25 lb?
Yes — case and bag sizes vary by need. See our general guide to what wholesale case sizes mean for how formats are typically structured.
How long does bulk dried mint keep its flavour?
Stored airtight and away from heat and light, dried herbs generally hold well for many months, though flavour does slowly fade over time rather than the herb becoming unsafe. See our note on whether spices expire.
