A milder mint

Speakeasy Organic Mints

Noshing & Sipping by Valerie J. Cimino

Do you long for the days before mints knocked you on your butt and left you gasping for breath? When mints were more, well, genteel? Speakeasy Organic Mints are refreshing yet restrained, and they come in funky little square boxes and in six food-complementary flavors. Try the Gingermints after going for Thai or Chinese, or pop a Lemonmint after a big Italian dinner. For purists, peppermint, spearmint, and wintergreen are also available. Speakeasy Organic Mints make quite a journey on their way to New England: manufactured in Mexico to California's organic-food standards, they're distributed through a company in Hoboken, New Jersey. And 10 percent of the profits go to conserve tropical rain forests. Here in Boston, they're available for 99 cents at Star Market.
