Mint

Mint is a perennial aromatic plant. A little shade and moist soil are all it takes to thrive, so much so that it can sometimes become invasive! Mint has been used since ancient times for its many virtues.

What are the benefits of mint in Les 2 Marmottes infusions and teas?

The Assyrians and Babylonians already used it to combat "lazy stomach."

It is said that at the end of a meal, it chases away misunderstandings and relaxes the atmosphere. Mint is therefore said to have digestive and soothing properties .

But at Les 2 Marmottes, it's its blend of freshness and sweetness that interests our master infusers.

What mint is used in our Les 2 Marmottes infusions and teas?

Two mints, or nothing! At Les 2 Marmottes, we combine sweet mint and peppermint.

Sweet Moroccan mint (or 'Nanah' mint) is ideal for making mint tea .

Peppermint , which is more powerful, is grown by a small producer in Milly-la-Forêt.

Our mint duo refreshes the mind, breath, and ideas! Tasting, selecting, checking, cutting, sifting, blending... Infusion is an art .

In which recipes do our master infusers use mint?

Peppermint adds a light boost of freshness to soothing recipes like our Groundhog Infusion , while sweet mint brings comfort to partygoers in our Back to Party infusion.

So in the end, is your tea more of a sweet or peppery mood? Both, to create a clash of flavors, like in our gourmet Mint Liquorice infusion or in our subtle Mint Linden Verbena recipe , or of course the Mint Duo infusion.

Our cold-serve recipes love mint. How do you make homemade iced mint tea ? A bag of Mint Green Tea steeped for 30 minutes in cold water, a squeeze of lemon, and you're in summer.

Word(s) of the master brewer

"Not to brag, but our peppermint is truly exceptional! We work directly with a small peppermint producer, Alain Bosc-Bierne, one of the last in Milly-la-Forêt, the historic capital of medicinal plants. His mint is one of the most concentrated in menthol in the world. There are no middlemen; it's important for Les 2 Marmottes to work directly with committed producers to select the plants in their native lands, according to the rhythm of the seasons. The mint is grown, harvested, and dried naturally in the open air, directly by Alain. We visit him regularly, and every time, it's worth the detour! Discover Alain, our peppermint producer."
