Description

Sweet mint tea is part of life in Morocco. Boiled mint tea has been a tradition since ancient times. Green tea from China was introduced by the British and it became popular to blend it with the minty brew, sweetened with sugar. We have attempted to recreate the Moroccan experience in this tea. Full-bodied green tea from China blended with flavorful peppermint. Crisp, cooling brew that can be enjoyed either warm or iced. Traditionally served in small glasses (istikan).

This tea is a wonderful blend of 100% organic, full bodied and roasted green tea leaves and 100% organic peppermint leaves. It is good iced or hot.

FLAVOR PROFILE:

Full-bodied, roasted, vegetal green tea with fragrant, cooling peppermint.

Brewing tips:
Use 170 degree spring water with 1 teaspoon of tea for every 8 oz of water. Steep for 2-3 minutes. It is good for 2-3 infusions.
