Bright, refreshing and bursting with flavour – the blend contains a perfect balance of delicate green tea and mint. It’s probably the closest equivalent to Moroccan mint tea you can get without leaving home.
Traditional Moroccan green tea with mint is typically drunk sweet - very, very sweet. This is because they use Gunpowder Green, a tea so strong that sugar is needed to remove the astringency. We opted for a more delicate chunmee green tea known as Precious Eyebrows. Better to change the base tea than your teeth, we reckoned.

Chunmee green tea, peppermint leaves.
Outside Morocco!
Green mint tea is a delicious mix of pure chun mee and peppermint leaves. Chun mee, which means "precious eyebrows" because of its twisted leaves, is a premium type of green tea from the Camellia Sinensis plant. The leaves are rolled into that unique shape and then pan-fried to neutralise the grassiness and bring out the underlying aroma. They are then mixed proportionately with peppermint leaves to make green mint tea. The resulting blend, which turns light green when brewed, isn’t too strong on the green tea flavour and has just enough mint to lift it all – making it an outstanding drink for any time of day!
