Moroccan Mint

A classic of world tea etiquette. This blend is a historic union of China and Africa. As the base, we take the classic Chinese Gunpowder. Its leaves are rolled into tight balls resembling pebbles, which preserves intensity and gives the drink an astringent, slightly smoky structure. The second violin is Moroccan mint. Moroccan mint is a specific variety of spearmint that has historically been grown in North Africa. It differs from regular peppermint: it has more menthol, but the taste is softer and sweeter, without bitterness. Gunpowder provides the "body" and strength, while mint provides the "chill" and aroma. Together, they create that very taste that saves from desert heat and resets the mind in a metropolis.
