Moroccan Mint

Description

Moroccan Mint combines tea and herbs to lift your spirits and clear your mind. We use a simple recipe, combining Gunpowder green tea with spearmint leaves. Then we add peppermint for maximum aromatic intensity. The mint varieties complement each other remarkably well: spearmint slightly gentler and sweeter, peppermint more lively and exhilarating. In this company, green tea doesn’t show off, but brings its own fullness and natural sweetness to the cup. If you enjoy Moroccan Mint, try our recipe. It stands above the rest, and also makes a refreshing chilled tea.

People know Moroccan Mint by several other names: Marrakesh mint, Maghrebi mint, or Algerian mint tea. Clearly this rich tea tradition transcends borders, and many people would claim it as their own! All across northern Africa—including Morocco—people drink this tea with copious amounts of sugar. For an authentic experience, pour three subsequent servings when you brew this tea. According to a Maghrebi proverb:

The first glass is as gentle as life,
the second is as strong as love,
the third is as bitter as death.

Maybe we’ll stop after the first or the second cup… However you enjoy Moroccan Mint—sweet or straight, hot or cold—we hope it brings clarity and peace.
