My husband is on coumadin (blood thinner). The instructions tell him to avoid "green tea". Does this include homegrown mint/spearmint tea?

Usually green tea means tea that hasn't been processed much, made from tea leaves. Mint tea is an herbal tea, and should be safe - but you can't know for sure without asking an expert. Your pharmacist should know, or at least know how to find out. Any kind of mint is an herb, and should be fine, but ask the expert.
I'd echo what the previous poster said. Green tea and mint tea are two different things, but while mint is generally considered one of the safer herbs some of these interactions can be surprising. Herbs are medicines in their own right and can have some powerful effects.
