Blender's Notes:
Our Moroccan Mint is true to the classic, a strong and smoky rolled green gunpowder tea with bright uplifting spearmint leaves. Perfect as an afternoon pick-me-up, Moroccan Mint green tea also makes a delicious digestif or after-dinner drink. This is a great tea to cold-brew.
In Morocco, mint tea transmits an aroma of hospitality, served anytime there are guests, at a business gathering, or of course, whenever people are just thirsty. It’s the main thirst quencher in the Sahara, after water, and is thus the most popular tea throughout North Africa, always served hot. Morocco is the largest importer of Chinese green tea worldwide. Moroccan mint tea is commonly steeped three times, and the amount of time the tea has been steeping gives each of the three infusions a unique flavor, referenced in a famous proverb about the tea: "The first glass is as gentle as life, the second glass is as strong as love, the third glass is as bitter as death."

Green tea, like all teas, is made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. The leaves are picked, withered, and then heated to lock in the freshness, vibrant taste, and green color. Because of this very short processing time, green tea has a higher concentration of chlorophyll, polyphenols, and antioxidants than other tea types. For this reason, green tea has earned a reputation over the past 5,000 years for its health benefits.
Polyphenols are compounds that have been linked to a host of health benefits such as bolstering immune systems and reducing the formation of certain cancers and cardiovascular diseases. Polyphenols are found primarily in plants and notably in very high concentrations in green tea. These potent compounds are best known for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that may help us live our healthiest lives possible.
Green tea is also rich in L-Theanine, an amino acid associated with improved mood and focus, as well as reducing stress and anxiety-like symptoms.
