It's always surprising how good the results can be from available ingredients. Mint-based developers create low grain and highly detailed images with solid density. It's also much more pleasant to work with these developers compared to more toxic commercial products or the stink of caffenol.

Next up on the list of polyphenolic developer ingredients is Spearmint, which I happened to have lying around. Boiled it up and made a tea. This worked very well and I think could be used reliably in the future as an easily renewable, cheap and sustainable developing solution.

The Caffenol Delta recipe ended up working really nicely for slow-speed, low silver-content film. These Kentmere 100 stills were overexposed by a stop and pull-processed for some very clean and dense negatives.

I really like the look of a lot of higher speed film with this recipe, like HP5. Really nice grain texture and highlight roll off on these ones.

Most of these are my attempts to find a developing agent with a balance of low toxicity, affordability and reliably pleasing results. Here are my first attempts at a basic caffenol recipe.
