Orange mint is more fruity than it is minty. It’s doesn’t taste like orange juice or orange rind, but you can catch the similarities, especially with a good long (8-10 min) steep. Tossed in a little St. John’s Wort for a weekend winder-downer. Tasty, and more to come: looks like nearly all last year’s potted mints fared well under the mulch. Hubby wants to add strawberry mint to the menagerie as soon as we can find it at the nursery.

Strawberry mint sounds like a tasty addition!
Never heard of it, but sounds great! I had chocolate mint, and I love the scent of pineapple sage. Maybe I should start a big mint garden just for tea.
The only one that hasn’t bounced back full force is the pineapple mint, which wasn’t my favorite of the batch. That and a lavender plant which clearly isn’t dead yet, but isn’t showing any signs of life, either.
