Requiem Tic Tac Mint

Description

Mentha ‘Requiem Tic Tac’ is a vivid and aromatic mint variety, known for its neat, upright habit and refreshingly sweet, menthol-laced flavour that echoes the cooling clarity of its namesake. With bright green, finely serrated leaves and a clean, invigorating scent, this variety brings both structure and scent to the herb garden.

Likely synonymous with Mentha ‘Carmagnola’—a variety originating in northern Italy and prized for its use in confectionery and herbal remedies—‘Requiem Tic Tac’ offers a milder, smoother peppermint flavour than many of the more pungent cultivars. This makes it particularly well-suited for delicate teas, light desserts, or as a cooling counterpoint in savoury dishes.

Its dense foliage and modest spread make it an excellent choice for container growing, where its form and fragrance can be appreciated up close. Gardeners seeking a gentler peppermint with continental charm will find ‘Requiem Tic Tac’ a refined and versatile addition to their collection.
