A native of the Mediterranean, spearmint was revered by ancient Romans for its ability to 'stir up the mind.' It continues to be savored for its refreshingly clear aroma and soothing qualities. If you find peppermint a bit too cool sometimes, spearmint is definitely for you. This herb has a rounded, slightly smoother and more grounded taste than peppermint, with warming and cooling notes. Very gentle to the palate, and naturally caffeine-free.

Lore
Spearmint has been used by humans for thousands of years. Its name comes from the spear-like tips at the ends of its serrated leaves, though it is also known by nicknames like common mint, garden mint, or lamb mint. Like many mint plants, it contains menthol in its leaves, though not as much as is found in its hybridized descendant peppermint. Because of its milder flavor, spearmint is popular in both food and drinks, including lamb dishes, cocktails, and Moroccan mint tea, which is a social tea made with spearmint, gunpowder tea, and sugar.
