Description
An interesting twist on the old Moroccan Mint tea, which traditionally combines Gunpowder tea from China with fresh peppermint. We kept the latter, and replaced the smoky notes of Gunpowder with the muscatel highlights of a First Flush Darjeeling from India. The result is fresher, smoother and - we hope you'll agree - a nice improvement on the original.
Story
Gunpowder is the favorite green tea of Morocco and the Middle East, where it is commonly prepared with mint and plenty of sugar. The local custom dictates that it be served by men, and be poured in such a way as to create a sizable foam atop one's glass. Gunpowder tea is often mixed with peppermint leaves to create a unique blend called Moroccan Mint. In a novel twist on the original, we kept the fresh mint, and dispensed with the smoky gunpowder. The latter was replaced with a smoother spring tea from Darjeeling, India.
"LOVE it!! Perfect amount of mint, very enjoyable. My favorite so far out of the green teas."
"a lot more peppermint-y then i was expecting but it's still very good"
"This is a very strong mint. I liked it well enough, but I prefer it iced to hot and I have plenty of iced teas and other drinks that I like just as well or better. "
"minty, strong and fresh. i typically don't care for mint flavor but this tea is great."
"This is my wife favorite. Has a nice taste of mint that is not over powering."
"There are 4 greens on my 'must have' list. This is one of them. The blend of green & peppermint is superb in my book, or shall I say, cup ;-)"
