Has an aunt who grew it by her door, however, and it always smelled nice when we went to visit.

But, the mint tea is good for one thing: In questionable locales with questionable water, at least they boil it to make the tea, so we probably won't get sick from it.

that is a good secondary benefit from it. of course, even without taking that into consideration, it's quite a refreshing drink. if you like mint, of course. and really, when it's done properly, it tastes nothing at all like chewing gum. i promise. i don't actually like chewing gum very much either. i do like altoids though (the curiously strong mints !) and while i have never tasted your frangos-mints-of-the-silly-name, i remain quite skeptical that could possibly be *better*.
