This exotic tea consist of Chinese Gunpowder tea (high quality Green Tea hand rolled into small pellets) and the flavors of Spearmint and Peppermint.
We can consider Moroccan Mint Tea as an exotic tea but in Morocco it is the most common beverage. It is so popular there that Morocco is the #1 imported of Chinese Green Tea. If you visit Morocco and are offered some, please don’t refuse it for that would be a big insult to your host. Moroccan Mint Tea is considered the drink of hospitality.
Whether you want an iced tea to cool you during the heat of the day, or a hot tea to warm and sooth you during the cool of the evening, Moroccan Mint Tea is a wonderful choice.
Traditionally in Morocco this tea is prepared with great pride by the head of the family. It is poured into small glasses from a distance of 2 -3 feet in order to produce a rich foam in the tea. Moroccans prefer it very sweet and an additional sprig of fresh mint is considered essential. I personally don’t care for my tea sweet, but I do love this tea because the menthol effect of the mint on the Green Tea eliminates the grassy aftertaste and leaves my mouth feeling refreshed.
