The Menthe Chartreuse is a spicy mint, known for its use in the production of liqueurs and herbal teas.
The leaves are particularly shiny and robust, slightly rounded at the edges which give the Chartreuse mint a bit of an elegant edge on her sisters.
This mint is very hardy and tough but it does require a good watering once a week – as mints do.
Harvest from March to October for cocktails and teas and more cocktails.
It is whispered that it is one of the ingredients in the delightfully mysterious composition of the legendary Chartreuse liqueur – but no one can or ever will confirm it.
If you have never read the history of where Chartreuse comes from , I highly suggest you take the time to do so.
The journey will be worth your time.
