Mandarin Mint (Mentha x piperita f. citrata ‘Mandarin’) is a captivating, specialty hybrid mint belonging to the citrus-scented citrata group. Much like its sibling Lime Mint, it breaks away from standard menthol profiles to offer an exotic, fruity twist that makes it a favourite among container gardeners, tea lovers, and mixologists

Scent & Flavour Profile

The primary distinction of Mandarin Mint is its wonderfully warm, sweet-citrus profile:

• The Scent: Brushing or crushing the leaves releases an unmistakable, sun-drenched aroma of sweet mandarin orange peel, smoothly blended with a subtle, underlying herbal freshness.

• The Taste: On the palate, it delivers a harmonious fusion of cool minty freshness and fruity sweetness. It is significantly smoother and less harsh than a standard peppermint, lacking any bitter or sharp, tongue-numbing aftertaste
