The species responsible for menthol's strong cooling sensation. Most commercial "mint tea" is peppermint alone. Spearmint (Mentha spicata) Sweeter, gentler than peppermint. Lower menthol content, produces less of the cooling sharpness, more of the soft herbal mint aromatic. The mint in chewing gum and Moroccan tea. Field mint (Mentha arvensis) Wild mint, slightly grassier and more aromatic than the cultivated species. Adds depth and complexity to the blend. Combining the three produces a more rounded mint character, less sharp than pure peppermint, more aromatic than pure spearmint, with a complexity that single species mint teas can't match.
