Does My Mint Need To Be “pinched”?

Question

I am wanting to grow mint to make mint tea. I know some plants need to be pinched at the tips ?; I do not know why exactly, but I don’t know who to ask?

Answer 1

It doesn't "need" it, but invasive plants like mint will react to pinching by growing more vigorously. In fact, any pinching, pruning, or damage otherwise will lead to a bushier and more productive plant.
