Description
Indulge in the decadent charm of After Eight Mint, a variety that captures the elegance of the iconic chocolate it’s named for. This mint exudes a deep, cooling freshness layered with subtle cocoa-like undertones, making it a standout choice for anyone seeking a sophisticated twist on classic mint.
Its dark green, slightly glossy leaves offer not only ornamental beauty but also an aromatic intensity that’s ideal for a range of culinary uses—from garnishing rich desserts and pairing with dark chocolate, to enhancing mint sauces, herbal teas, or infused syrups. Just a few sprigs can transform a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a hot chocolate into something truly special.
Often confused with the more readily available ‘Chocolate’ Mint, After Eight Mint is, in many gardeners’ and chefs’ opinions, the superior variety. Its cleaner flavour, robust growth, and more balanced scent profile make it both a pleasure to grow and a joy to use.
Best grown in containers or confined beds to keep its enthusiasm in check, After Eight Mint brings a note of botanical indulgence to any herb garden. Whether you’re planting for flavour, fragrance, or visual allure, this is a mint that promises elegance—and delivers.
