Mint

Mentha spp.

Minty freshness for mate and, above all, for tereré.

Aroma and flavor

The leaves are used, dried or fresh. They have a fresh, minty aroma and leave a freshness in your mouth that you notice with every pour.

How to use it in mate

In mate, a pinch of dried leaves mixed with the yerba is enough. In tereré it’s a classic: add a few crushed fresh leaves to the pitcher.

Goes well with

Lemon verbena, burrito, peperina and lemon peel.
