Tangerine Mint (Mentha x piperita f. citrata ‘Tangerine’) is a delightful aromatic herb belonging to the citrus-scented family of peppermints. Highly favoured for its distinctively bright, sunny aroma, it is an essential pick for anyone looking to add a fruity, tropical flair to their garden or kitchen.

Scent & Flavour Profile

Tangerine Mint is distinct from other citrus varieties due to its specific peel-like sweetness:

• The Scent: Bruising the foliage yields a very clear, juicy burst of sweet mandarin and tangerine peel, accompanied by a soft, refreshing herbal undertone.

• The Taste: On the palate, it is remarkably smooth. Because it contains far less intense menthol than standard peppermint, it lacks any aggressive or tongue-numbing harshness. Instead, it delivers a gentle, zesty sweetness with a clean, cooling finish.
