Mint Tea


(local tea shop variant)

This month tea is a mint based blend. That means camelia sinensis plus mint, not tea made out of mint. This blend is made by blending green gunpowder tea from China with spearmint (either fresh or dry). For this blend we have dry mint. Dry mint is stronger than fresh mint, so keep that in mind if you decide to make your own blend instead of buying it from someone else.
This tea is typical of moroccan tradition and is very refreshing in summer.
