What exactly is the flavour of Mint? What sets Spearmint apart from peppermint and how is it used differently?
What exactly is spearmint? Spearmint (Mentha Spicata) is a naturally occurring mint species with sweet overtones that are refreshing and penetrating. It has a distinct aroma and is frequently used in toothpaste, chewing gum, candy, and ice cream. Peppermint (Mentha Piperita) is slightly more bitter than spearmint and is the most used Mint in shisha tobacco industry. So, what sets them apart?
Mint is a flavour that has long been used in the tobacco industry. There are numerous varieties, but the two most common are Spearmint (which contains less menthol) and Peppermint (which has a cooling effect on your mouth and throat when smoked!). In this blog, we’ll define “mint flavouring” to help you use it in your shisha flavour pairing and mixing ratio.
In the Shisha tobacco market, standard Mint flavours contain some percentage of both Spearmint and Peppermint. The Mint flavour of shisha tobacco is made bright and powerful by the combination of both peppermint and spearmint. The natural chemical ingredient “Carvone” is responsible for Spearmint’s mild flavour. Peppermint has a flavour like Spearmint, but it contains menthol, which makes it stronger and more pronounced. Menthol is found in both Spearmint and Peppermint, but Peppermint has a higher menthol content (40% vs. 005% in Spearmint).
