Your source text is missing the word "Ölen"

There are records indicating that ancient Egyptians cultivated peppermint. The leaves and stems of peppermint contain volatile oils that give the plant its pungent odor and taste. The oil contains menthol which is responsible for the sensation of coolness that is characteristic of peppermint.

I'm not 100% certain, but I believe "essential oils" is used mostly when the oils have already been extracted, not when talking about what is inherent in the plant/creature from which they are extracted

Googling 1. "peppermint tea" "volatile oils" -tree (to exclude the string "peppermint, tea tree, ...") and comparing it with 2. "peppermint tea" "volatiles" speaks for itself. Changing the first 'volatile' to 'essential' yields a whopping 32x more hits, but the top 50 or so that I looked at make just the distinction I suggest above, talking about e.g. the usefulness of various products for various ailments, e.g. peppermint tea for an upset stomach, essential oils for aromatherapy, etc.:
Peppermint tea is generally safe and nontoxic, although it may cause intestinal discomfort in people who have gallstones. Infants and small children should not be given high doses. The essential oil is much more potent and needs to be used with caution. It may irritate the skin if it is applied undiluted or in high doses. Avoid putting the essential oil over more than a small patch of skin at a time because of menthol's pronounced cooling effect. The essential oil could cause an asthma-like attack if applied to the nasal area of infants or small children. Essential oils are not generally taken internally except with the supervision of an experienced therapist. Capsules containing tiny amounts of peppermint oil are often enteric-coated to prevent a burning sensation or other types of digestive discomfort.

Explanation:
I'd be very tempted to translate the excerpt: "...possible to extract the full flavouring and the volatiles", and ignore the "missing" oil oiltogether.
But I'd certainly use "flavouring" rather than "aroma" in this context - there is enough in there already concerning the olfactory organ...
