Menta aromata pentru bauturi racoritoare - Mentha nervosa 'Mojito' (cultura biologica)

Mentha nervosa 'Mojito' is a mint variety specially selected for preparing drinks, especially mojitos. Unlike regular mint, this variety has a sweeter, finer, and less mentholated taste, with subtle notes of lemon and fruit, making it ideal for cocktails without overpowering other flavors.

The plant has shiny green leaves that are slightly wrinkled with visible veins. It grows vigorously and forms dense bushes with a pleasant and fresh aroma.

Main features:

• Taste: sweet, aromatic, with lemon notes (perfect for mojitos)
• Leaves: green, slightly veined and wrinkled
• Growth: fast and vigorous
• Aroma: intense and pleasant, finer than classic mint
• Size: 40-60 cm tall

Easy care:
