Organic Marrakech Mint Green Tea

Our Marrakech Mint Green Tea captures the spirit of traditional mint tea: a Gunpowder-style green tea, whole mint leaves, and a hint of peppermint to brighten every cup. The result is an organic Moroccan green tea, fresh and generous, perfectly suited to any moment of the day.

Crafted with restraint, this blend relies on just three ingredients, all organically grown. A pared-back recipe, true to the tradition of Moroccan tea, designed to deliver genuine mint flavour without layers of added aroma.

The aromatic profile of our Marrakech Mint

The moment you open the pouch, mint freshness rises immediately, carried by the vegetal, slightly smoky notes of the Gunpowder. A lively, herbaceous scent that sets the tone for an invigorating cup.

On the palate, the Gunpowder unfolds a round, gently woody base, over which the mint lays its cool, mentholated freshness. The peppermint brings a bright, almost spicy finish that extends the sensation of coolness without any harshness.

This is a balanced, aromatic tea where the vegetal character of green tea and the clarity of mint answer each other perfectly. No sugar, no unnecessary flavourings: the simplicity of a recipe that has endured through generations.

The ingredients in this blend

• Organic China Gunpowder green tea: leaves rolled into tight little pearls that slowly unfurl during steeping, releasing a golden, round and gently full-bodied liquor.
• Organic mint (8%): whole leaves that bring herbaceous freshness and a lasting finish.
• Natural peppermint flavour: an aromatic touch that intensifies the mentholated sensation and delivers the lively finish characteristic of mint tea.

How to brew Marrakech Mint Green Tea

The method is straightforward, but water temperature makes all the difference. Gunpowder steeped in water that's too hot turns bitter; at the right temperature, it reveals its full roundness.

Brewing parameters:

• Quantity: 12 to 15 g per litre, roughly one heaped teaspoon per 250 ml.
• Water temperature: 70 to 80°C. Water brought to a simmer and left to rest for 1 to 2 minutes works perfectly.
• Steeping time: 2 to 3 minutes, depending on the strength you prefer.
• Accessories: a glass or cast iron teapot with a fine-mesh filter, to let the Gunpowder pearls unfurl freely.

Iced, for summer

This blend lends itself beautifully to cold brewing. Use 15 g per litre of cold water, steep in the fridge for 1 to 2 hours, then strain. Serve with a few fresh mint leaves for a refreshing, bitterness-free drink.

You can also prepare it the Moroccan way, in a metal teapot, pouring the tea from a height to aerate the liquor. Sweetened or plain, it becomes a ritual of sharing in its own right. Enjoy our green teas throughout the day, from breakfast to sunny afternoons.

Storing your mint green tea

Packaged in our workshop, this tea keeps best in its original tin or in an airtight, opaque container, away from light, moisture and heat sources. Avoid plastic containers or shelves near spices, which can quickly dull the delicate mint aromas.

Consumed within 12 to 18 months of opening, this tea retains all its mentholated freshness and the roundness of its Gunpowder base. To learn more about green tea varieties, brewing and uses, visit our green tea guide.
