@Kristay,
No.

Mint is a less strong essence than peppermint.

@Kristay,
"ish". Its more a piss yellow color when fresh. When dried the "tea" is darker brown like iced te.

Its often used for topicals and digestive s, Im not a huge fan of "natural meds, until they've been concentrated and purified. Like Aspirin originally cam from Willow Bark, but so do some alkaloids that can make one sick
