Costa Rica Mint

Description

Bring a burst of tropical vibrancy to your herb garden with Costa Rica Mint, a spirited Mentha spicata variety known for its lush foliage and bold, aromatic character. Originating from the warm, humid climate of Central America, this mint exudes vigour and colour, with vivid green, spear-shaped leaves that are slightly glossy and intensely fragrant.

Its classic spearmint flavour is bright and clean, making it a superb choice for teas, sauces, tabbouleh, cocktails, and fruit salads. In Costa Rican cuisine, mint is often paired with tropical fruits and cooling beverages—this variety brings that spirit home.

A reliable and fast-growing cultivar, Costa Rica Mint is ideal for containers, herb beds, or kitchen gardens, thriving in full sun to partial shade. Its upright habit and vibrant appearance make it a standout addition, both visually and in terms of flavour.
