The most authentically Moroccan of the mint-greens here, because it does what the others avoid: it uses gunpowder green tea, which brings a slightly smoky, vegetal backbone that is exactly the traditional North African profile, balanced by sweet organic spearmint rather than aggressive peppermint. Where the Teapigs version sidesteps gunpowder for a softer Chunmee base, this one leans into it, and keeps the bitterness surprisingly low. Caffeine-free it is not, there is real green tea here. No added sugar, so sweeten it if you want the full café cup; otherwise a clean, properly Moroccan brew.
Dragonfly Organic Moroccan Mint is the traditional North African gunpowder green tea and spearmint blend from the Dragonfly organic range, the classic Moroccan recipe of rolled green tea pellets blended with spearmint leaf and certified Soil Association organic, picked into the Teas.co.uk curator selection as the proper Moroccan-style alternative to a plain pure mint or a plain green tea cup.
The gunpowder green tea does the structural work, giving the cup its pale yellow-gold colour and the soft vegetal backbone that drinks slightly fuller than a standard green-tea bag, while the spearmint adds the lift on top, brighter and sweeter than the peppermint version that the western mint-tea aisle defaults to. The Moroccan tradition serves this poured high from a teapot into a small glass with sugar, and the cup takes a teaspoon of sugar and a fresh mint leaf beautifully if you want the full experience rather than the simpler tea-bag-in-a-mug version.
Packaging: Follow the current UK pack and local-authority guidance; components can require different disposal routes.
A forty-bag Dragonfly household pack at an accessible price for the organic-certified tier, the proper Moroccan Mint to compare against the synthetic-mint supermarket green-and-mint blends, and one of the few cups in the supermarket aisle that ports across cleanly to the proper Moroccan glass-and-pot service if you want to make the experience traditional.

Ideal Brewing Conditions
To unlock the full potential of your Dragonfly Moroccan Mint, specific thermal techniques are required to protect the green tea leaves from scalding.
The Barista Hot Serve
-
Measure: Place one tea bag in your favourite cup or pre warmed glass.
-
Water: Use water that has boiled and cooled for 2 minutes (approx. 80 degrees Celsius). Boiling water will burn the leaves and cause bitterness.
-
Steep: Infuse for 2 to 3 minutes. This short steep releases the mint oils without extracting heavy tannins.
-
Finish: Delicious plain, or with a dash of honey for a traditional 2026 Atay experience.
The Iced Ritual
-
Concentrate: Brew two bags in 200ml of hot water (80 degrees Celsius) for 3 minutes.
-
Sweeten: Stir in a teaspoon of honey while the liquor is still warm.
-
Serve: Top up with cold water and large ice cubes in a tall glass.
-
Result: A revitalising iced Moroccan mint tea that acts as the perfect 2026 summer cooler.
