Review: This is Mighty Leaf’s version of Moroccan mint tea: A blend of gunpowder green tea and peppermint. This intense brew is traditionally poured from a distance so as to create a head of foam on the cups of tea.
Mint is normally overpowering to tea, so the use of gunpowder green tea, which has a fairly intense flavor, makes a lot of sense. The peppermint dominates, of course, but the gunpowder gives the tea structure and body that would not be present if this was just a mint tisane (with no true tea added).
Don’t be put off by the color of this tea, which is admittedly “muddy”. The flavors are bright and clear. Great “pick me up” in the morning, too!
Tips: Try this iced. It is spectacularly refreshing.
