Mint was both a plant and a shade of green. On Earth the plant was not tolerant to rapid changes in temperature and would die back during cold temperatures. (PROSE: Cat's Cradle: Warehead, The Banquo Legacy) When the Tenth Doctor and Donna Noble visited Earth in 1926, the Doctor said that the air smelled of grass and lemonade with a hint of mint. He said that the mint in the air meant that it was the 1920s. (TV: The Unicorn and the Wasp)
