Description

Jamaican Bush Mint (Satureja viminea) is a robust, aromatic herb native to the Caribbean, particularly Jamaica, where it is cherished for its distinctive flavor and medicinal properties. Often used in traditional remedies and herbal teas, Jamaican Bush Mint is known for its strong, spicy mint flavor, which makes it a popular choice for both culinary and medicinal purposes.

Jamaican Bush Mint is a perennial herb that thrives in warm, tropical climates. The plant features small, lance-shaped leaves and produces tiny white or pale purple flowers in clusters. The leaves and stems are highly aromatic, and they are commonly used in teas, cooking, and traditional medicine. In Jamaica, it is often brewed as a tea to help with digestive issues, colds, and respiratory problems. The plant also serves as an ornamental addition to gardens due to its lush, green foliage and fragrant nature.
