Mentha villosa 'Mojito'
Mojito Mint was brought to North America from Cuba about 10 years ago. Up until 2005 or 2006 this mint was rare and hard to get outside of Cuba. Yerba Buena and Mojito Mint are used interchangeably in the popular cocktail, particularly in Havana, because they have a similar flavor. They’re both in the same family by the way.
