Possible to I.D. this mint?

I think that it is chocolate mint but am not sure, doesn't taste very chocolate though may be a tad bitter.

I have several mints and my chocolate mint is darker. The best way to tell is to rub and sniff. Honestly. :lol:

But keep in mind that if different types of mint aren't kept separate the different aromas/flavors will be muddied from what I've read. I've kept my mints totally separated and in pots so they all smell and look distinctly different. When I make teas, I can't easily pick up the different flavors if I use more than one kind of mint.
