    "excerpt": "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.Caffeine status: low to moderate from the gunpowder green tea base. Taste profile: bright vegetal green tea up front balanced by sweet spearmint and a clean refreshing finish. Lifestyle: Soil Association organic, vegan, vegetarian, naturally gluten-free and sugar-free. Planet: forty plant-based bags in fully recyclable packaging from a UK family tea company.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.Curator notes: the tasting profile reflects our own editorial review against the current pack format and the brand spec sheet, cross-checked with brewing trials at the recommended steep time and water temperature. Every order includes a complimentary curator-picked tasting sample matched to the flavour direction you have shown a preference for, and we run same-day UK dispatch on every order placed before three in the afternoon, Monday to Friday. Storage notes, freshness windows and brewing temperature ranges are also published in the detailed Q and A tab below.",
    "content_text": "Dragonfly Organic Moroccan Mint exists as a functional upgrade for the green tea drinker who finds standard varieties too bitter or grassy. Unlike mass market mint teas that use aggressive peppermint flavouring to mask low quality leaves, this blend relies on the natural sweetness of organic spearmint to balance the robust notes of gunpowder green tea.\n\nSource: Teas.co.uk.

The story behind the Dragonfly brand is one of family ownership, ethical sourcing and a commitment to traditional blending technique, with sustainable certifications on the majority of the range. The brand sells through specialist tea shops and select supermarkets nationwide.\n\nThe Planet Friendly Promise\r\nDragonfly is committed to sustainable tea production, ensuring that every cup respects the environment and the heritage of global growers.\r\n\r\n\r\n \r\nCertified Organic: All ingredients are grown without artificial chemicals, protecting 2026 soil health and local biodiversity.\r\n\r\n \r\nPlastic Free Bags: Tea bags are made from plant based fibres and are stitched, eliminating the need for glue or staples.\r\n\r\n \r\nRecyclable Packaging: The outer carton is made from recyclable board, minimising landfill waste and supporting a circular economy.\r\n\r\n\r\nIdeal Brewing Conditions\r\nTo unlock the full potential of your Dragonfly Moroccan Mint, specific thermal techniques are required to protect the green tea leaves from scalding.\r\n\r\nThe Barista Hot Serve\r\n\r\n \r\nMeasure: Place one tea bag in your favourite cup or pre warmed glass.\r\n\r\n \r\nWater: Use water that has boiled and cooled for 2 minutes (approx. 80 degrees Celsius). Boiling water will burn the leaves and cause bitterness.\r\n\r\n \r\nSteep: Infuse for 2 to 3 minutes. This short steep releases the mint oils without extracting heavy tannins.\r\n\r\n \r\nFinish: Delicious plain, or with a dash of honey for a traditional 2026 Atay experience.\r\n\r\n\r\nThe Iced Ritual\r\n\r\n \r\nConcentrate: Brew two bags in 200ml of hot water (80 degrees Celsius) for 3 minutes.\r\n\r\n \r\nSweeten: Stir in a teaspoon of honey while the liquor is still warm.\r\n\r\n \r\nServe: Top up with cold water and large ice cubes in a tall glass.\r\n\r\n \r\nResult: A revitalising iced Moroccan mint tea that acts as the perfect 2026 summer cooler.\r\n\r\n\r\n\nBrewing The Perfect Cup of Dragonfly Organic Moroccan Mint, 40 Tea Bags 80g\n\nWater temperature: 100\u00b0C, the menthol needs full heat to volatilise.\nMeasure: One bag per 200ml of just boiled water.\nSteep: 4 to 5 minutes covered; covering traps the menthol rich steam.\nService: Drink unsweetened; the natural sweetness is plenty. A slice of lemon adds brightness.\nIced version: Brew 2 bags strong in 200ml, cool, pour over ice with fresh mint leaves and a squeeze of lime.\nCaffeine note: Naturally caffeine free, so safe any time and a traditional digestif after meals.\nBest with: Moroccan pastries, dark chocolate, after a heavy or spicy meal.\n\nSafety And Purity\nNutrient Note: Contains the natural compounds (polyphenols, antioxidants or warming actives) characteristic of Dragonfly Organic Moroccan Mint, 40 Tea Bags 80g, supporting general wellbeing as part of a balanced diet.\r\nDietary Status: Vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free.\r\nChemical Cleanliness: Grown without chemical pesticides or artificial fertilisers for a clean label experience.\r\nCaffeine Note: Contains mild caffeine.

                "content": "\ud83c\udf75 Is Dragonfly Organic Moroccan Mint caffeine free?No, despite some labelling suggesting otherwise, this blend contains gunpowder green tea, which is real Camellia sinensis leaf and therefore contains caffeine. Around 20-40mg per cup, lower than a black tea but not caffeine free. Drink as a daytime cup rather than late evening one if caffeine affects your sleep.\ud83e\uddca What are the main ingredients?Soil Association certified organic gunpowder green tea (premium rolled Chinese green tea) and organic spearmint. Two ingredients only. No flavourings, no fillers, no aromatic sprays.\u26a1 How do I brew it for the best result?Brew at 80\u00b0C (not boiling) for 2-3 minutes. Green tea over brewed at full boiling water turns bitter and grassy, so the temperature genuinely matters. If you can't measure, boil the kettle and let it sit for 30 seconds before pouring, which drops the water to roughly the right temperature.\ud83c\udf31 What is gunpowder green tea?Gunpowder is a specific Chinese green tea style where individual tea leaves are rolled into tiny tight pellets resembling gunpowder shot. The rolling preserves freshness and gives the brew its characteristic slightly smoky vegetal character. Originally produced in Zhejiang province, China.\ud83d\udce6 How do I do the traditional Moroccan tea pour?Brew the tea strong in a small teapot. Pour from a height (30-50cm above the glass) into small heat proof glass cups. The pour aerates the tea, creates a foam head, and traditionally signals respect to the guest. Sweeten with sugar in the pot rather than the cup; serve with fresh mint sprig in each glass.\u2615 Is the tea bag plastic free?Yes. Folded and stitched with organic cotton thread; no plastic glue, no metal staple, fully home compostable. Straight onto the garden bed once the leaf is spent.\u267b\ufe0f Is the carton recyclable?The outer carton is FSC certified, printed with vegetable based inks, and fully kerbside recyclable. Dragonfly offsets the print and packaging footprint via the World Land Trust Carbon Balanced Publication scheme.\ud83c\udf3f Is the blend organic?Yes, Soil Association certified organic across both ingredients. The Soil Association audits the producer annually for synthetic input use, traceability and chain of custody.\ud83e\udd65 How does it compare to Twinings Moroccan Mint?Twinings uses lower grade commodity green tea and standard peppermint, not Soil Association certified, with a glued paper bag rather than cotton stitched. Dragonfly uses premium gunpowder green and spearmint (the softer, sweeter mint cousin), fully organic certified, cotton stitched bag. The Dragonfly cup is the more honest version at twice the per cup price.\ud83c\udf0d How does it compare to a plain peppermint tea?Plain peppermint is caffeine free, single note, aggressively cooling. Moroccan Mint is caffeinated (because of the green tea), more balanced, with structural body and a sweeter milder mint character (spearmint vs peppermint). Different use cases.\ud83c\udff7\ufe0f Where is the blend packed?Dragonfly Tea Limited blends and packs in the United Kingdom from Soil Association certified organic gunpowder green tea sourced from China and spearmint sourced from named smallholders in Europe and India. UK family owned business since 1988.\ud83c\udf3e How many cups per pack and what's the per cup price?Each box contains 40 cotton stitched bags. At the current retail price that works out at roughly \u00a30.13 per cup, making it one of the lowest per cup prices in the certified organic Moroccan mint category."

                "title": "Flavour Science",
                "content": "The flavour of Dragonfly Organic Moroccan Mint, 40 Tea Bags 80g is built in three layers, and reading them in order explains exactly why the cup tastes the way it does from the first lift of steam to the last swallow.The outer layer is aromatic: a dragonfly moroccan mint green tea. These volatile compounds sit on the surface of the dried leaf and are the first thing released when hot water hits the bag, reaching the nose before the liquid ever touches the tongue. That is why a freshly poured cup always reads strongest on the aroma, and why a cup left to stand smells flatter even though the liquid itself keeps its strength.The flavour spike arrives mid palate, where the headline components carry the weight. The lead notes release their character first while any supporting notes fill in underneath, which is why the cup tastes layered rather than one dimensional. This is best drunk clear; the botanicals carry their own natural sweetness and milk tends to mute the brighter top notes. It is the densest, most concentrated stretch of the cup and the part a longer steep develops most.The base structure is the lingering finish: a clean, gently grassy note that resets the palate and invites the next sip. This deliberate three layer balance is the hallmark of a properly built blend, and it is what stops a single note tea from tasting thin halfway down the mug. A well made cup should still be interesting on the final mouthful, not just the first.Getting it right in the cup. Use one bag per 200 to 250ml and steep for 2 to 3 minutes at around 80\u00b0C; under steeping is the most common reason this blend tastes weaker than it should, because the heavier aromatic compounds are the slowest to leave the leaf. Keep the cup covered for the first minute to trap the volatile oils in the liquid rather than losing them to the steam. Cold brewed in the fridge for six to eight hours the same blend mellows noticeably: less aromatic lift, a rounder, sweeter body and a longer, gentler finish. Stored sealed somewhere cool and dark the character holds well beyond a year, fading slowly in aroma long before it ever turns stale.How water and temperature change it. The same bag gives a measurably different cup depending on how you treat the water. Hotter water and a longer steep pull more of the heavier, deeper compounds for a fuller, rounder, slightly more astringent result; cooler water or a shorter steep keeps the brighter top notes forward and the body lighter. Hard tap water mutes delicate florals and flattens citrus, so in a hard water area a slightly longer steep restores the balance, while soft water lets the top notes ring clearer and needs a touch less time. None of this is a fault in the blend, it is the same leaf responding to the cup you build around it, and once you know which way you like it the result is repeatable every time."
