Organic Spearmint Large Leaf
Product Details
Spearmint Large Leaf (Mentha spicata) is a dried spearmint leaf with a larger, more visually distinctive cut than standard spearmint.
It has a fresh, sweet aroma and a smooth, cooling mint flavour that is generally softer and less intense than peppermint. This makes spearmint a versatile ingredient for tea blends, beverages and culinary applications.
The larger leaf format is particularly well suited to loose-leaf teas and botanical blends where the appearance of the ingredient is important. It can be enjoyed on its own as a herbal infusion or combined with other herbs, flowers, teas and botanicals.
Spearmint pairs particularly well with peppermint, green tea, chamomile, lemon balm, lemongrass, rose, hibiscus and citrus ingredients.

- Loose-leaf herbal teas
