Find Cultivars that Taste Like Mint

Mint has a slightly sweet and primarily cool flavor. Mint gives you a cool sensation when consuming it due to chemicals in it sending messages to the brain. These messages trigger responses and sensations of perhaps shivering or feeling chilly. This gives the effect that mint is cooling the mouth when it might not actually be doing so.

The main terpenes found in most mint herbs are Pinene, Myrcene, and Limonene. Some of the most popular cultivars that taste minty include Mint Chocolate Chip, Animal Mints, Thin Mint GSC, and Wedding Cake.
