Dried Spearmint Leaves
Ref 7A23FF
Rs 105.00
Dried spearmint leaves, softer and sweeter than peppermint because spearmint carries far less menthol and much more carvone. The result is a rounded, gently sweet mint rather than a sharp cooling one — closer to the mint of Moroccan tea and Indian chutney than of a mint lozenge. It brews a clear, pale-green cup that is refreshing without being bracing, and it is equally at home crushed into cooking as it is steeped in a pot.
