What is Moroccan Mint Tea?
Moroccan mint tea is a traditional North African drink made with gunpowder green tea, fresh spearmint (known as nana mint), and sugar. It is typically brewed strong and poured from height to enhance its flavour and aroma.
Inspired by this tradition, our blend combines high-quality gunpowder green tea with refreshing mint to recreate the same fresh, aromatic and invigorating taste in a convenient, ready-to-brew loose leaf format.
What is Gunpowder Green Tea?
