Blackcurrant Mint (Mentha × piperita ‘Blackcurrant’) is an exceptional and highly sought-after hybrid cultivar of peppermint. Among fruit-scented mints, it is widely considered to have one of the most accurate and pronounced aromas.
Rather than just tasting faintly fruity, it releases a remarkably deep, rich, and tangy fragrance that perfectly mimics the sweet-tart profile of fresh blackcurrant berries (Ribes nigrum) backed by a smooth, cooling mint finish
The dark, rich, berry-like complexity of blackcurrant mint makes it a favourite among mixologists and pastry chefs looking for something more sophisticated than everyday spearmint:
Summer Pimm’s & Fruit Punches: It pairs flawlessly with dark berry drinks, lemonade, and summer fruit punches, enhancing the berry notes rather than masking them.
Rich Fruit Jams & Compotes: Toss a few bruised sprigs into a pot of simmering blackberries, plums, or actual blackcurrants when making jams or pie fillings to give the preserves an incredible depth of flavour.
Gourmet Teas: Steeping the fresh leaves makes a deeply relaxing herbal tea that naturally mimics a comforting berry-fruit infusion without any bitterness.
Savory Duck & Game Pairings: Because blackcurrant traditionally pairs well with gamey meats, this mint can be minced into sauces or glazes for roasted duck, venison, or lamb chops.
All mint plants are sent in 7 to 11cm pots
