Swiss Mint - Mentha x piperita 'Swiss', compared to other peppermint varieties, this has a lighter, more refreshing scent and flavour. It originally came to us bearing the name of a very well known Swiss brand of herbal candies, as the story went, this mint is used to flavour the Swiss company’s candies. A few years ago lawyers representing the company demanded that we change the name of the mint, so now we just call it ‘Swiss mint’.
