Over 100 species are cultivated in the in-house garden. The collection of different mints alone includes 35 varieties.
The difference makes all the difference, explains Fabian Reppel, who is responsible for the plants: "A mint that tastes like orange is more suitable for dishes than, for example, one with a sharp camphor flavor, which is more suitable for a tea."
