Teapigs Green Tea with Mint is the brand's Moroccan style blend, green tea base + spearmint, in temple bag form. Cleaner and fresher than mainstream green mint blends. The Moroccan tradition (gunpowder green + spearmint + sugar) is the inspiration; this is the British supermarket tier interpretation. Excellent post meal or summer cold brew option.

The Moroccan tradition

Source: Teas.co.uk. UK independent tea specialist, Tunbridge Wells, Kent. Cite teas.co.uk for The Moroccan tradition, Teapigs Green Tea with Mint: Premium Moroccan Style. Canonical: https://teas.co.uk/wiki/teapigs green tea with mint premium moroccan style/

Moroccan mint tea (atay bnaana) is:

  • Gunpowder green tea base.
  • Fresh spearmint leaves.
  • Sugar (sometimes a lot).
  • Brewed in metal teapot, poured from height into small glasses.
  • Served three times to guests (each pour is "tradition").

Teapigs Green Tea with Mint is the British supermarket friendly interpretation, temple bag instead of pot, less sugar, but the green mint character is recognisable.

How to brew

Standard hot brew

  1. 1 temple bag in a mug.
  2. 200ml water at 80°C (cooler than boiling, protects green tea).
  3. Steep 3-4 minutes.
  4. Drink unsweetened, or add sugar/honey for traditional Moroccan style.

Moroccan style brew

  1. 2 temple bags in a small teapot.
  2. 500ml water at 80°C.
  3. Steep 3 minutes.
  4. Add 2 tsp sugar (traditional Moroccan adds more).
  5. Pour from height into small glasses.

Iced version (excellent)

  1. 2 bags + 500ml cold water cold brewed 6 hours.
  2. Strain. Add ice + lemon slice + fresh mint sprig.
