Mint Tea: A Cultural Ritual and Wellness Beverage

Mint tea is often associated with Moroccan hospitality. This refreshing tea has been part of the Maghreb's cultural heritage since the mid-19th century, a period when the English introduced tea into North African countries.

Before tea arrived, mint leaf infusions were the preferred beverage of many in the Maghreb countries. The introduction of tea was well-received in Morocco and neighboring nations, largely because it was infused with mint leaves. This led to the creation of the mint tea we know today—a delicious blend of tea leaves and mint leaves, known for their thirst-quenching properties and requiring just a few minutes of infusion.

Offering a cup of mint tea has become an essential aspect of hospitality across much of the Arab world. But drinking this tea is more widely recognized as a true moment of pleasure for tea enthusiasts around the world.

Our Iconic Mint Tea Collection

Unmissable and emblematic, our green tea with mint brings together the best of China and Morocco. It represents the perfect marriage between Chinese Gunpowder tea and Moroccan Nana mint, creating a cup as warm as it is exotic. This tea is even more delightful when enjoyed after lunch and enhanced with a touch of sugar, offering comfort and indulgence in simplicity.

The Moroccan Nana mint also makes its appearance in our green tea Janeiro, with a fruity, minty fragrance. To create this uniquely refreshing mint tea, we’ve blended mint leaves and pineapple chunks with tea leaves harvested in China. The result: a deliciously refreshing hot beverage that can be enjoyed all year round.

We’ve also crafted a British-style mint tea to pay tribute to our favorite daily ritual—the famous “afternoon tea”. Try our After Five black tea for an intensely indulgent taste experience, combining the coolness of mint with the richness of chocolate.
