Chocolate Mint (Mentha × piperita 'Chocolate') is a fragrant member of the mint family containing naturally occurring compounds including menthol and aromatic volatile oils that give it its signature cooling, cocoa-like character. Traditionally, mint has been enjoyed to support comfortable digestion and to offer a refreshing, soothing sip. With its naturally cool, powerful mint flavor and a nostalgic chocolate finish reminiscent of a favorite cookie, chocolate mint makes a delicious caffeine-free herbal tea that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.

While mint has been treasured for thousands of years — tied to Greek mythology's nymph Minthe and used by ancient Egyptians and Romans alike — the Chocolate Mint varietal in your cup is a more modern discovery. This unique cultivar of peppermint, known for its dark-tinged stems and uncanny cocoa aroma, became a favorite in home and heritage gardens through the 20th century. Today, it continues to delight tea lovers craving the nostalgic taste of chocolate and mint together, naturally.
