River Mint | Mentha Australis Vlavour™ - our vacuum-distilled River Mint Mentha australis flavour, a truly unique expression of Australia's native flora. Journey back to the ancient origins of this botanical, a cherished staple for generations of First Nations people. Traditionally used for its therapeutic and aromatic properties, River Mint is a cornerstone of Indigenous culture and a true taste of the Australian landscape.
Our process captures the very essence of this remarkable plant. Using cutting-edge vacuum distillation, we gently extract the pure flavour molecules at a low temperature. This meticulous method preserves the delicate, nuanced character of the River Mint, delivering a clean, bright, and authentic profile that is free from the harsh, cooked notes often associated with traditional distillation.
The result is a versatile River Mint Vlavour with a fresh, vibrant, and slightly peppery character. It offers a sophisticated alternative to common mints, with an earthy undertone that hints at its wild origins. Its crisp and refreshing nature makes it a perfect addition to a wide range of beverages. Elevate your craft with our River Mint Vlavour, whether you're creating a complex botanical spirit, a refreshing non-alcoholic spritz, or a unique brewed beverage. River Mint Vlavour allows you to infuse your creations with the genuine taste of Australia.
Positive Attributes:
The botanical name tells the story. This Australian mint variant is in some ways like a combination of peppermint and spearmint. It is similar enough to regular mints to be approachable, but sufficiently different in flavour and back story to be new and exciting.
River mint has a history of indigenous use as a flavoursome bushfood and medicinal herb.
Flavour:
Bright foreground mint which is crisp, cooling and invigorating. The best varieties also have a rich but subtle back note of milk chocolate and nutmeg.
Mint and chocolate - a winning combination.
