Spearmint - The Complete Plantvale Tea Guide (PDF)

The sweet, gentle mint behind Moroccan mint tea - foolproof to grow, as long as you keep it in a pot.

The one thing to know before you start is the one thing every honest mint guide leads with: spearmint spreads. It travels by underground runners and will quietly colonise a flower bed if you let it. Grown in a pot or a contained bed, though, it is a genuine pleasure - vigorous, generous, and happy to be cut hard and often. This guide will get you from a single rooted cutting to a steady supply of leaves for tea and the kitchen, and it will keep that mint exactly where you want it. We will cover identifying it, growing it well, harvesting at the right moment, drying and storing, and brewing both a plain spearmint cup and the classic Moroccan-style mint tea.
