Mint Lemon

The most refreshing mint in the range. Lemon Mint produces vigorous stems with a sweet, citrusy lemon-mint fragrance that is outstanding in iced tea, fruit salads, summer cocktails, and as a garnish for desserts. Gentler and more versatile than peppermint, it pairs beautifully with fruit where the menthol of peppermint would overwhelm.
