This extremely aromatic tea came in the mail today from Ubacat. Yay!
Oddly enough, I only have one other gunpowder green in my cupboard, and it’s also mixed with mint (Golden Moon’s vanilla mint black/green tea). So I guess gunpowder green and mint are the official Moroccan Mint combination?
Anyways, this tea is very very minty, and from what I can tell, it’s peppermint rather than spearmint. I didn’t taste much of the green tea base here, so I think I might want to lower the temperature a bit and see how it fares at 80C. I bet this would also be good with some honey or sweetener added.

I like Fez by Steven Smith Teamaker. It’s Mao Feng, spearmint and lemon myrtle.
Interesting. Teavana had a similar tea with spearmint and lemon verbena, but I don’t know what the green base was.
Fez is really good especially during the summer;)
