mintiness
Spearmint's signature quality
Mintiness is the quality of having a mint flavor or aroma—the cool, sharp, refreshing sensation associated with peppermint or spearmint.
The word typically describes breath, gum, toothpaste, or candy: The mintiness of the mouthwash lingered for hours.
It can also describe an excessive mint quality: The mojito had an overwhelming mintiness.
