Couple possibilities: It could be related to acid reflux bringing stomach contents back up into your mouth with unexpected minty qualities, like enteric coating on a pill perhaps. It could have to to with a sinus flora of bacteria and bacteria altering your sense of smell since minty is more of a smell than a taste. It could also be cranial nerve damage altering your senses. Get to an ENT doc and possibly a neurologist

See your doctor: Dysgeusia is a change in your sense of taste due to a variety of causes; from anxiety to dental problems, medications and treatments or simple seasonal flu. See your doctor for consultation and tests.
