Herb
Chocolate Mint
B tier
Chocolate mint is a peppermint strain with a rounder, cocoa-like sweetness over menthol—beloved for desserts, ice cream infusions, and novelty teas. Still peppermint-hot underneath; use in sweet contexts. Dark stems aid ID. Not a chocolate substitute—just a aromatic hint.
