Nile Valley Mint

Description

Nile Valley Mint is a sun-loving spearmint variety believed to have been cultivated for centuries along the fertile banks of the Nile, where mint has long been valued for its cooling properties, digestive benefits, and cultural significance. With bright green, lance-shaped leaves and a soft, sweet aroma, this variety is traditionally used in Egyptian mint tea, often served hot and sweetened, or chilled as a refreshing drink to soothe the body in intense heat.

Vigorous and upright in habit, Nile Valley mint thrives in warm climates with rich soil and ample sun, offering a generous supply of leaves for teas, salads, and savoury North African dishes. Whether grown for its flavour, fragrance, or connection to ancient herbal traditions, this mint brings the warmth and wellness of the Nile to your garden.

Of course, this mint is part of the Mentha nihilica debarcle, but it is nonetheless a great mint for the Limonana drink!
