Nanah mint (or Mentha spicata var. nanah) is a particular variety of mint that comes mainly from Morocco and surrounding regions. It is a type of spearmint, but with a more intense taste and scent and often perceived as fresher and slightly sweeter than classic spearmint (Mentha spicata).

It is particularly known for its role in the preparation of Moroccan mint tea, an iconic drink that is almost a ritual in many cultures of the Maghreb. It has smaller and denser leaves than traditional spearmint, and its flavor is sweeter and less pungent, making it ideal for infusion.
