I grow a wild species, water mint, which I love. On land, they are milder tasting than by the water. There are three species of mint nearby—corn mint, water mint, and apple mint. Apple mint is the highly invasive kind that grows four or five feet tall and makes a monoculture. The leaves are very hairy, but good in tea. The other two are well behaved. Corn mint has some incredible, rich, diverse flavors too. They are all quite variable based on conditions. The strongest tasting one I know was some water mint growing in an old beaver marsh.

The shade keeps it from going totally mental, and it smells incredible when you walk through it or mow the edges. The one that really surprised me was Korean mint, technically Agastache not Mentha, but it behaves similarly and the bees absolutely lose their minds over it. Stays put better than most true mints too.
