What is Moroccan Mint Tea?

Moroccan mint tea is a traditional North African drink made with gunpowder green tea, fresh spearmint (nana mint), and sugar.

Inspired by this classic recipe, these teabags combine high-quality green tea with refreshing mint to recreate the same fresh, aromatic and invigorating flavour in a quick, easy-to-brew format.

What is Gunpowder Green Tea?

Gunpowder tea is a classic Chinese green tea made from leaves rolled into small pellets. As they unfurl during brewing, they release a bold, slightly smoky flavour with depth and structure.

It is widely used as the base for mint tea, particularly in Moroccan-style blends, due to its ability to balance freshness with body.
