Description

This bold and invigorating blend combines tightly rolled Chinese Gunpowder green tea with cooling spearmint leaves to create the classic North African mint tea, inspired by the vibrant souks and warm hospitality of Marrakech.

The robust, slightly smoky character of the Gunpowder tea is perfectly balanced by the crisp, sweet freshness of spearmint, resulting in a brew that’s both energising and refreshing. Traditionally enjoyed with plenty of sugar and poured from a height to create a light froth, this tea is a staple of Moroccan culture and is offered as a symbol of friendship and welcome.

Whether served hot or cold, it’s the perfect pick-me-up at any time of day. One sip will instantly transport you to the sun-drenched courtyards of North Africa.

Health Benefits

All tea comes from the same plant, Camellia Sinensis, but the way it's processed creates the wide variety of teas we enjoy today. Green tea is minimally processed and not oxidized, which helps preserve its natural antioxidants, fresh flavour, and vibrant green colour.

Compared to black tea, green tea retains a higher concentration of polyphenols, particularly catechins like EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), which are known for their powerful antioxidant properties. While green tea contains less caffeine than black tea, it still provides a gentle energy boost which is ideal for staying alert without the jitters.

Green tea is linked to a wide range of health benefits, including:

  • Enhanced brain function and focus
  • Support for heart health and healthy cholesterol levels
  • Boosted metabolism and fat oxidation
  • Reduced inflammation and cellular protection

It also contains the amino acid L-theanine, which works synergistically with caffeine to promote calm, focused energy and support mental clarity without causing drowsiness.
