Description: With a refreshing balance of hand rolled green tea leaves from China and peppermint leaf, this blend is delicious hot or over ice.

The green tea leaves are hand rolled before drying out to stop the oxidisation process (this is what makes green tea different to black teas and oolong teas). As they have minimal processing (like white teas) they retain all the taste, antioxidants and health benefits within the leaves. Win win!

Ingredients: Each box contains 75g of loose leaf tea. Green tea, peppermint leaf. 

I mentioned in my We Are Tea Pick n Mix Box review, that I really enjoyed their Moroccan Mint tea. I didn't delve too much because I wanted to shout about it in a full length review. 

Firstly the scent of this tea. This tea smells amazing. It has a strong earthy notes from the hand rolled green tea, and fresh crispness from the dried Peppermint. It smells fresh, which is to me the most important part of defining a good quality, great tasting tea. It brews to a lovely clear golden colour. If you brew it for up to 4 minutes at only 80 degree water. I use filtered water too. 

The flavour is where it's all at with this tea. It's insane, a few years back I spent 2 weeks in Marrakech and had the best time, drinking more Moroccan Mint tea than I had before. The freshest mint, and the greatest green tea you've tasted and nothing has lived up to that until now. 

We Are Tea have created an incredibly great tasting Moroccan Mint tea which near as damn it resembles the real deal. There really are no other words for this tea than it's really something special. It might not have an eclectic name or any 'out-there' flavours but when you come across something that's a standard brew as Mint Green Tea and it's done so well, it stands head and shoulders above the other brews on your shelf. Simple done right, is brilliant, there is nothing else. It's clean, refreshing and beautifully cleansing. Perfect for an afternoon pick me up or a tummy tonic. It really is Marrakech in a cup. 

The Moroccan Mint comes in both whole leaf tea bags and loose leaf pouches. Making it great for anyone who wants this on the go, or in a teapot. I drink tonnes of Mint Tea and Mint Green Tea so I'll definitely be ordering this in bulk and probably on a few occasions too! Also, how cool is it that this tea is actually hand rolled! 

There is only one teeny tiny downfall for this tea, the bag inside isn't resealable which I would love, or for them to start selling this tea in tins.
