Need to cool down? Cooling on the go. The taste is sweeter than that of peppermint one and less pungent. The sweet coolness of the ice aroma is combined with the aromatic but spicy taste of the spearmint. The spearmint (Mentha spicata), is also known as garden mint, common mint, lamb mint and mackerel mint. Spearmint is often used in chewing gum and toothpaste. The characteristic taste of Spearmint Ice makes you feel like you have freshly brushed teeth at any time!
